LONDON, Oct. 01, 2024, part of NASA's SpaceX Crew-8 mission.
Boyden's 250 guests from the international business community in London were treated to a live interview with Jeanette Epps, conducted by Nick Robeson, Managing Partner of Boyden in the UK & Ireland, followed by an instantaneous, live tour of the ISS in what is believed to be a UK first.
"It is a huge honour, and a technological feat by the Institute of Engineering & Technology, to interview Jeanette live at the ISS in front of our guests this year," says Nick Robeson, Managing Partner of Boyden in the UK & Ireland. "Jeanette described the personal challenges behind the media headlines, such as the exploded Russian satellite and faults on the Starliner space capsule. We wish the crew a successful mission and safe return to earth later in October."
While preparations were made to connect with the ISS, Boyden's guests heard from Mark Russell, CEO of The Children's Societyand extraordinary advocate for children's welfare. The Society's work in "transforming the hopes and happiness of young people facing abuse, exploitation and neglect" aligns with Boyden's support over two decades for children and youth-oriented charities in the UK.
