Strathclyde Business School has been reaccredited by Small Business Charter for the maximum five year period with the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship being recognised as an exemplar. In order to achieve the Small Business Charter award, business schools undergo a rigorous assessment to determine the effectiveness of their business support, entrepreneurship education and engagement with their local economy. Business schools that hold the award can share and develop successful approaches to business support, engagement and student entrepreneurship.
Executive Dean of Strathclyde Business School, Professor David Hillier, said, “We are delighted to receive the maximum period reaccreditation from SBC and is testament to the fact we are one of the UK’s world-class business schools. The SBC award celebrates business schools that play an effective role in supporting small businesses, local economies and student entrepreneurship.”
Professor Nigel Lockett, Head of the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship, added, “Recognition as an exemplar is the result over two decades of sustained investment to become one of Europe’s leading academic centres for research, teaching and engagement in the areas of entrepreneurship, innovation and strategy within the context of SMEs and entrepreneurial ventures.”
