This edition, we want to shine a light on three long-standing partners who continue to make a real difference.
Casper Shipping brings the world of maritime commerce into vivid focus for our students, and in a port region like Tees Valley, that connection between local industry and global trade is powerful. Their willingness to open up the business of shipping, explain its complexity, and make it relatable for young people is exactly the kind of employer engagement that changes perceptions and opens minds.
Their continued partnership is greatly valued, and we look forward to more exciting sessions together in the months ahead.
Jacksons Law Firm has been a committed partner of High Tide Foundation, bringing the professional world of law to life for young people who might never have imagined it as a career path. Their team’s enthusiasm and warmth when working with students is always striking — they bring real energy to their sessions and a genuine belief in the potential of every young person they meet.
We are proud to work with Jacksons and grateful for the continued support of a firm that truly understands the value of investing in its community.
PD Ports occupies a special place in the High Tide story as one of the Foundation’s founding business supporters and a company deeply rooted in the Tees Valley. Their ongoing partnership reflects a long-term commitment to the region and its people that goes beyond corporate responsibility. It speaks to a genuine belief that business success and community investment go hand in hand.
From workplace visits to programme co-design, PD Ports remains one of our most engaged and impactful partners. We are proud to have them in our corner.
We are always looking to welcome new businesses into the High Tide family. Whether you’re a large employer or a growing SME, your involvement makes a real and lasting difference to the young people of Tees Valley.
