CQ graduates will celebrate at special ceremony in London
 
Dr Mark Evans will deliver the keynote speech to this year's cohort of veterinary nursing graduates from Central Qualifications (CQ), during a special celebration in London.

The ceremony will take place at the historic Central Hall in Westminster on 11 June. CQ will welcome graduates, their lecturers, family and friends for a memorable day spent celebrating their achievements.

Dr Evans has had an ambitious and prosperous career. Since his days as a vet and chief veterinary advisor to the RSPCA, he has become the presenter and producer of a range of documentaries for top broadcasters including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and National Geographic.

Taking him across the globe, his work has seen him encounter a variety of exotic species - from polar bears, sperm whales and wild bull elephants, to orang-utans and crocodiles. Through his adventures, his love of science and nature have united, leading him into exhilarating and often white-knuckled voyages through extreme conditions.

Dr Evans's extremely varied career has also seen him become an internationally renowned amateur mechanic, building and restoring some impressive structures, from race cars to planes. His story promises to inspire and motivate this year's graduates, encouraging them to aim high and seize the opportunities presented to them.
