About Nat Billington?
Nat Billington, computer entrepreneur and Lord Longford’s grandson, was one of our team of mentors before his death in 2015, aged 44. He supported Longford Scholars in his own discipline, computer science, and encouraged them to gain the qualifications that have subsequently lead them to securing good jobs.
“Nat helped me in many ways. I was lucky to have someone with vast knowledge about my course as my mentor. He always made people around him feel at ease and comfortable. He was an inspirational and motivating force behind my endeavours during my time at university.” Peter, Longford Scholar and Computer Science graduate
