Event details and 2027 speakers at LIVE! events

Toni Kent

Toni is an engaging, high energy speaker who translates the conversation around social mobility into what really matters for young people in the UK today. Drawing on decades of lived experience during which she went from council estate to corporate and tried her hand at comedy, Toni speaks honestly about what it’s like to build a career when money is tight, opportunities feel uneven, and the system doesn’t always feel built for you. Her mix of personal story, humour, and strategic insight helps young people feel seen. Toni will leave your students with a clearer understanding and greater optimism on how to develop the confidence and skills for a fairer, more accessible future.

What You Say

The students LOVED Joe from Innocent, they felt he spoke to them on their level.  Aylesbury grammar School

The trip was great thank you. The lectures were very good too, the speakers gave some really great information about Business and ICT and the Business students commented that it would really help them when they came to complete their case study work in year 13.  Fort Pitt Grammar School

Good level of content about Superdry for A Level. Excellent insight into culture for Business - both Innocent and Superdry.  Stanwell School

We definitely want to come back next year. Your trip represented better value for money than the rival company as the pupils had one more day in the park.  Churchdown School Academy

Excellent service throughout. Any queries answered swiftly. A smooth experience.   The Joseph Rowntree School​

Incredibly smooth-running and well organised tour! Will definitely be using EST again.   Harris Academy: South Norwood
