SBS shortlisted in Small Business Charter Excellence Awards

Strathclyde Business School has been shortlisted in the Small Business Charter (SBC) Excellence Awards.

SBS is one of six business schools to be shortlisted in the 'Outstanding Support for Small Business' category. Strathclyde was amongst a pioneering group of 20 business schools to be first given the Small Business Charter award in June 2014 in recognition of its expertise, resources and work in giving support to start-ups and small businesses.

The Small Business Charter Excellence Awards are the opportunity for business schools that hold the SBC accreditation to showcase specialist activity that delivers sustainable impact and legacy.

The Small Business Charter - open to any school holding the SBC accreditation - demonstrates the commitment of business schools throughout the UK in supporting, championing and connecting small businesses to our academic communities, influential business networks and our students and graduates. The SBC Excellence Awards similarly raise the profile of business schools offering real influence, partnership and impact in the categories aligned to the SBC assessment.

A panel of judges, comprising of business school leaders, SME business leaders, and other SME experts will vote on winners for each of the three categories which also include 'Outstanding Stakeholder Engagement' and 'Outstanding Support for Student Enterprise and Entrepreneurship'. 

The winners will be announced at the Small Business Charter Summer Reception taking place on June 22 at the House of Lords.
