Loughborough school open for business
Loughborough University’s new school of business and economics has been officially opened. The site was unveiled by former chief executive of BT and Loughborough University graduate, Sir Peter Bonfield.
Sir Peter, who has held senior positions with blue chip companies including Sony, BT and Texas Instruments, also has an honorary doctorate from the university.
The official opening of the school was attended by more than 100 guests from the university and regional business leaders.
Dean of Business and Economics at the university, Angus Laing, said: “Loughborough is operating at the cutting edge of academic research in key areas such as microeconomics, human resource management and marketing, but our work is also intimately connected to the world of practice, having a direct impact on business and industry managers, policy makers and global organisations.
“This formation of the new school will help us to consolidate our position as one of the leading institutions across these areas.”
