University awarded Small Business Charter status and praised for supporting businesses and students The University of Bradford’s School of Management has been granted Small Business Charter status for its outstanding work with local businesses and creating employment opportunities for students. The Small Business Charter is an award for the UK’s world-class business schools. It celebrates business schools that play an effective role in supporting small businesses, local economies and student entrepreneurship, and is only granted after rigorous assessment. Professor Sankar Sivarajah, Head of the School of Management, said he was thrilled by the news.
“We are absolutely delighted to gain the Small Business Charter award, which recognises our School and University’s efforts in supporting our students and local small businesses, entrepreneurs and positively contributing to the local economy. “We have a long-standing commitment working with businesses and entrepreneurs in the city and region and we want to continue to grow our support to them through our School’s Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) and new business and community engagement initiatives for the benefit of our students and local small business community.”
