Leeds University Business School celebrates 2024 Partnership Awards

Last week, the Business School held its annual Partnership Awards to celebrate the achievements and continued dedication of its staff and students.

The Partnership Awards are run by LUU (Leeds University Union) to celebrate students and staff who have gone above and beyond to make the Leeds learning experience a good one, and who embody the values of The Leeds Partnership. 

The Partnership is a recognition of the need for all members of the Leeds community to work together to contribute to students’ sense of belonging, and to enable them to make the most of the opportunities available to them during their time at university.

The Awards include several categories and recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals, teams, and societies across the Business School, as decided by nominations from fellow staff and students.

Nominees were invited to celebrate their achievement at an evening ceremony in the Refectory with food and live entertainment. During the ceremony, the Awards were presented by:
