HUUB & Derby College Launch Academy
Bondholders Derby College and leading wetsuit-maker HUUB have linked up to help students develop marketing and product development skills.
As a result, business students will be working with the UK's leading designers of triathlon wetsuits, apparel and accessories. They will gain valuable work experience at the company, take part in marketing and product development projects and be given a guaranteed interview at the end of their two-year course.
HUUB has won a string of industry awards for its pioneering wetsuit designs, which are worn by top athletes such as the Olympic triathletes, the Brownlee brothers, as well as celebrity triathletes Jenson Button and Gordon Ramsay.
