Students launch their business

BACKSTAGE ACADEMY students have already gone on to launch businesses in the industry.

The latest, Interactive Immersive Classrooms, is the first to be supported with investment from Production Park Ltd.

Launched last summer as content and project management team Andy Delmaine and Charlie Cooper were finishing their degree courses at the academy, it has seen immersive classrooms taken out into schools in Manchester, Grimsby and Stocktonon-Tees.

They are supported by current students Aled Evans and James Whittaker.

They plan to roll it out in more schools and are also exploring their potential use as training classrooms for those in the medical profession.
