Last night social media superstars, GK Barry and Harry Pinero, teamed up with Nationwide to open takeaway pop-up NationFried in Shoreditch for a night of spinning decks, delicious fried food and candid conversation.
Known for sharing hilarious, tell-all stories and comedy shorts on their channels, GK Barry and Harry Pinero offered life learnings in their comedic, spill-it-all style sharing relatable tales from their younger days to ease students’ worries when it comes to going it alone for the first time.
The partnership comes as new research from Nationwide reveals the majority (77%) of students have worries about moving away from home, so students from across London were invited to the takeaway takeover to chat with GK Barry and Harry about how they’re feeling as they start their university days.
Delighting students with not just good vibes and a tasty feed, GK Barry and Harry were on hand to help uncover hidden surprises of £100 in cash and Just Eats vouchers – just some of the too-hot-to-miss perks of the building society’s FlexStudent account.
Former Nottingham Trent student and TikTok icon, GK Barry, said: “Having moved away to university, I know firsthand that it can be a big step. It was a pleasure to open the doors to NationFried with Harry Pinero last night and welcome students in to chat about their concerns before they go to uni. By sharing our own experiences of growing up, I hope it gives students reassurance as they navigate their move. Getting in on the perks of Nationwide’s FlexStudent account will certainly help them on their way.”
Social media personality, Harry Pinero, said: “Nothing beats sitting down for a good chat over a box of fried chicken – particularly with GK Barry! Getting stuck into our new roles behind the counter at takeaway joint, NationFried, to serve students delicious food and tunes while sharing our experiences of growing up was the perfect combo. Now, we hope they’ll enjoy the perks of the FlexStudent account and tell their mates to get in on the action too!”
