Boris Johnson New Career Skills Harvey McGarth, what's the connectiom?



Now you seriously couldn’t make this up

New Career Skills
This is getting more interesting by the minute.
This reporter recently discovered that a training company called New Career Skills was using a web site address called www.plumbingcareer.co.uk . Now it seems their own investors, a company called Bridges Venture, is sharing the fact that not only are New Career Skills hiding behind one name they are actually posing as three alternatives in the internet – beggars belief. So why would a company like Bridges ventures allow this to happen?
Before we answer that question, here is the information from Bridges Ventures about New Career Skills:
New Career Skills provides vocation focused training to mature career changers.
Management team
Steven Wines - CEO
Marc Rickard - FD and Ops Director
Julian Harley - Non-Executive Chairman
Tim Addison - Non-Executive Director

This may, or maybe not, be the clue as it why Bridges Ventures are keen to work with New Career Skills. One of the significant players within Bridges Ventures is none other than Harvey McGrath. Harvey McGrath is Vice Chair of the Mayor of London's Skills and Employment Board, responsible for the adult skills strategy in London, Chairman of the London Development Agency . You can read more about Mr McGrath here http://www.london.gov.uk/business-economy/working-partnership/lep/members
Within the document showing his interests, McGrath lists Bridges Social Entrepreneurs Fund
As no other investigative reporters have seen this as a sizeable story, the team here felt we should share the cosy relationship between Boris Johnson, Harvey McGrath, Bridges Ventures and New Career Skills. 

Our investigations continue. However, we have also found this document. An interesting letter.
