While politicians talk about levelling up, Mo Isap is busy getting on with it.
The Blackburn entrepreneur is a man on a mission, to open up opportunities for people from disadvantaged backgrounds and deprived communities – giving them access to the education and skills that will fast track them into technology careers.
His IN4 Group is operating at pace on multiple fronts, from delivering digital skills to individuals to working with Lancashire businesses to give them the confidence to adopt the new technologies that will give them the cutting edge and create job opportunities.
