Kate

September 2012

University

Kate has achieved so much since leaving WGHS, receiving a Masters Degree in Product Design Engineering from Loughborough, during which time she set up her own business ExpHand Prosthetics. Kate’s company has developed an upper body limb prosthetic for children which is lightweight, adjustable, affordable, colourful and most importantly that grows with the user. She has received a number of accolades and her business is going from strength to strength. We are so proud to be part of her journey and her plaque now resides in our reception area to inspire current and future students for years to come. Congratulations Kate!
