Reuben Singh has launched the scheme as a helping hand for the start-up tycoons of tomorrow. Singh, who himself was an entrepreneur from an early age, believes that business education in the UK should be anchored in real-world scenarios.
This means innovative solutions to changes in law, technology, social media and more.
His firm alldayPA was set up in 1999 and today handles calls for over 23,000 UK businesses acting as a virtual reception, switchboard and customer services team.
