The Downtown Den Podcast. Season Two. Winning Women – Gillian Keegan MP

This series of the Downtown Den Podcast is all about Winning Women, in this episode we revisit 2020 with Frank McKenna chatting to Gillian Keegan MP in the Downtown Den.

EDUCATION MINISTER IN THE DOWNTOWN DEN

Back in 2020, the then junior minister for education, Gillian Keegan, joined us in the Den to talk about her fascinating career journey (she started as an apprentice in Kirkby, a town on the outskirts of Liverpool), her transition into politics, and her passion for improving skills, education, and training in our country. She is now the education minister – and she’ll be one of the keynote speakers at DIBs ‘Change Makers Live’ conference on 2nd March 2023 in Liverpool. Have a listen to what Gillian had to say to us almost three years ago when she was a member of Boris Johnson’s government. Whatever your politics, we think you’ll be impressed.

This is episode three of the Downtown Den’s ‘Winning Women’ series. Enjoy.
