School of Management Reunion

The School of Management thirtieth anniversary reunion was a resounding success with 19 of the 28 people who graduated in 1972 gathering from all around the world in Bradford to celebrate.

Graduates travelled from around the UK, from the USA, Canada, Switzerland, Spain and as far as the Falklands.

Throughout the weekend the friends enjoyed a curry lunch before meeting up at Emm Lane for group photographs and a tour of the expanded School and facilities at Heaton Mount.

Most of the group also visited Salts Mill before gathering with partners at Hollins Hall Hotel and Country Club near Shipley for dinner, drinks and reminiscing into the early hours. The next day, they took part in a walk up to the Cow and Calf rocks, in Ilkley, and ended the day with a farewell lunch at the original Harry Ramsdens, in Guiseley. John Bonnett and Peter Goudge, who are currently Directors of their respective companies, Moda Group and the BPRI Group, jointly organised the event.

Peter said: "It was fantastic that so many people had put in the effort to get together. Given that many hadn't seen each other for the full 30 years, it was great that they seemed to pick up almost where they had left off. There was certainly a strong desire that the event should be repeated before too long."
