MBA Associates’ Dinner
In December the Business School welcomed back a number of successful MBA alumni, as well as business partners and current staff and MBA students, to celebrate the inaugural MBA Associates’ Dinner. The black-tie evening allowed MBA alumni to catch up with former friends and colleagues and network with local business contacts over dinner, as well as hear from keynote speakers Professor Greg W Marshall and former England Rugby captain Steve Borthwick. The evening was a great success and we look forward to hosting a similar event this year for more of our MBA alumni. If you are an MBA alumnus, please get in touch to find out more by emailing
