In line with its goal for continuous innovation, Hydrogen Group, is announcing a collaboration with Coventry University London Campus.

Coventry University, the highest ever ranked modern university in the UK, prides itself on offering students the real business and professional experience.

Gareth Lewis, Head of Business Development at Coventry University’s London Campus explained, “We are delighted to be entering into this collaboration with Hydrogen Group and fully expect both parties to gain huge benefits. At the London Campus we believe that it is vital to provide our students with ‘the real business experience’ so that they are equipped with the up-to-date knowledge and skills that employers need.
