John Speak
John Speak Language Trust
This trust has been going since 1924 when John Speak, a leading figure in the textile industry, anonymously donated funds to the Chamber to provide scholarship abroad for students. Its purpose, which still holds today, is to help students improve their language skills and to support the export trade of UK goods and services.
The trust has funded many scholarships with students based in places like Argentina, Spain, Italy, Japan, China and France, benefiting from an average award of £1,870 each. Scholarships last between three and 12 months.
