My unexpected journey SAM LOMBARD CAME TO US IN 2021, WITH WIDE-RANGING EXPERIENCE IN THE ENGINEERING SECTOR

Sam's fascination with flight may have influenced his choice of degree. But back in 2005, he could never have known where it would lead. Ultimately, of course, it brought him here to Newton. But with plenty of exciting twists and turns along the way.

"After a couple of years running a business, I realised I was missing something. The focus, challenge and pace just weren't there in the same way. Newton gave me the opportunity to get that back."
