Guy was also invited back to Collyer’s last year, where he spoke about his record-breaking feat achieved with fellow athlete, Andrew Delaney.
The pair were the first tandem to row across the Indian Ocean, aboard the Flying Ferkins, to gain a place in the Guinness World Records.
Student Sulaimaan Azoor enjoyed the session. He said: “Guy is really inspiring and it was a great opportunity to explore the success he has had running Architectural Plants and how he creates a positive team spirit.”
