Northampton gives honorary degrees to ten more leather industry leaders
09/02/2015
In recognition for the work of they have done for the global industry over a number of decades, the university’s Institute for Creative Leather Technologies (ICLT) has now decided to present honorary bachelor’s degrees to people who have served the global industry well, but whose formal leather industry education was at one of the ICLT’s two predecessors, the National Leathersellers’ College in London or Nene College in Northampton, where students were able to complete only a diploma rather than a degree course.
An initial group of 12 former students received honorary degrees at a ceremony in Hong Kong in 2013. A further group of 15 people, representing various countries and different tanneries, research and leather chemicals companies, received honorary degrees in Northampton in 2014.
They have now been joined by a new group of ten recipients of the honorary bachelor’s degree. The ten leather industry figures are:
Stephen Brazell
Peter Burnham
Alec Finch
John Moriarty
Kim Murphy
Julian Osgood
Nicholas Patrick
Paul Patrick
Panagiotis (Takis) Pitsas, and
Michael Whiteford
We send our congratulations to all of them.
