Frequently asked questions

Paul Harris

The purpose of the Programme was all along to employ people with good academic qualifications, but then to also encourage them to become really exceptional. It’s about finding the cum laude candidates, the captains of their teams, heads of the debating society who would win the boat race in the pub afterwards. It’s about finding total all-rounders and mavericks.” Paul Harris, RMB Class of Founder”
