The School of Management would like to invite all alumni to join us to celebrate the opening of our new facilities.

We are still planning the event but at this stage can advise you of a draft schedule to give you an idea of what we have planned.

In 2008, The Evening Standard named John among the '1000 Most Influential People' in London, describing him as "a true green business guru," and as "an evangelist for corporate social and environmental responsibility long before it was fashionable."
