Our Spanish alumni

Inigo Peternina (Business Studies 1990)

Buckingham was for me, above all, an opportunity.  I read Business Studies and graduated in 1990.  Since then I have been lucky to work in the financial services in Spain, in a paper factory and, lately, in a couscous / pasta factory – both in North Africa.  For 3 years I have been working in the construction sector together with the rewarding and wonderfully joyful arena of looking after both my two little boys and my father.

Buckingham is a multicultural hotchpotch where students from different countries, of different ethnicities and of different ages and outlook on life mix and interact.  Those of us who have been to Buckingham are lucky for the experience and the knowledge – together with the friendships – that we have gained while we were there.
