Previous Fast Track programmes have boasted masterclasses from Tim Hincks,  Dawn Airey, Robert Thirkell, Lorraine Heggessey, Armando Iannucci and  Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Fast Track Pitch winning delegates have gained commissions from Channel 4, ITV2 and Discovery Networks and often most valuably, everyone has come away with a new and impressive supportive network of peers.
