Gleam Programme Website Durham University Business School

Durham University Business School’s Gleam Programme (Graduate Learning of Entrepreneurship Accelerated through Mentoring) was designed to support some of the North-East’s most innovative young entrepreneurs. The year-long initiative helped graduates turn early business ideas into viable ventures through mentoring, training and practical support.

I was commissioned to create the official Gleam website, providing a modern digital platform to showcase the programme, its entrepreneurs and their success stories.

The Gleam initiative brought together graduates from diverse backgrounds — from designers, photographers and artists to software developers, product creators and online service founders. The website needed to reflect this creativity while presenting the programme’s structure, aims and achievements clearly and professionally.

• • Using a clean layout and accessible navigation, the site highlighted:
  • Details of the year-long entrepreneurial course
  • Profiles of participating graduates and their new ventures
  • Information about the programme’s mentoring structure
  • News and updates relating to exhibitions and events
  • Success stories from businesses launched through the scheme

The final website positioned Gleam as an inspiring, forward-thinking programme while helping promote Durham University Business School’s support for regional enterprise.
