"Electric Medway stepped into the gaps when the creative industries were in turmoil…finding new ways to engage virtually. I love that it also offered opportunities for hopeful creatives who must have felt bewildered and lost as to how to enter the industry during what could have been a stagnant period. The international collaborations show real ambition."
