Check out our interview with Ojigbani, the visionary Founder and CEO of Mainstream Careers, who has just led his company to a Silver Award for Innovation at the SME National Business Awards. Fred’s journey is an inspiring one—arriving in the UK as a Nigerian immigrant, he faced the all-too-common challenge of finding professional employment without local experience. Rather than accepting the barriers, he built a solution.

Mainstream Careers now trains thousands of individuals in high-demand tech skills, helping migrants and career changers secure roles at major organisations, including the NHS, Bank of England, and National Grid. Fred’s passion for innovation has transformed the company from offering a single course in Coventry to a global leader in IT training.

🌟 Check out our latest review of half term family fun at Wicksteed Park! 🌟

Wicksteed Park has been a beloved family destination for generations, and we had the chance to experience its magic with our 3-year-old son recently. From the iconic Ferris Wheel to the brand-new Jolly Jockeys ride, we had an unforgettable day.

Highlights of our visit:
🎡 The giant Ferris Wheel offering stunning views
🎢 Ladybird and Clown Coasters – perfect for little thrill-seekers
🐷 Wicky's Farmyard with cute animals
🚂 A train ride around the park
🎠 The traditional Carousel
🌊 Splash-tastic Water Chute and Rocky River Falls

With over 30 rides and attractions, beautiful gardens, and great food options, Wicksteed Park is a perfect family day out. Our son couldn't get enough, and we loved every moment.
