I have enjoyed working alongside my old school and found the whole experience incredibly rewarding.

1. 19th May 2015.
Character reference for Darren Clark, founder of ‘Spotless Spaces’
For over two years Darren has volunteered his time to support a wide variety of students at
Merchants’ Academy in both the secondary and primary phases.
Darren has provided support in the form of motivational assemblies, mock employment
interviews and employability upskilling in addition to talking about his role as an
entrepreneur.
Without exception Darren has proved himself to be a highly enthusiastic and credible
employability role model who connects effortlessly with both students and staff alike.
I recommend Darren to your institution, in the form of a volunteer, and trust that your
students will also benefit from the inspiration that he brings.
Yours faithfully,
Mark Nixon
