GuyKat founder Guy McEvoy is proud to have been awarded a Visiting Industrial Fellowship by Aston University. Guy was one of a small number of Alumni of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Programme recognised for the contribution made across the university to the understanding, experience and awareness of business growth and entrepreneurship. The award was made at a dinner event held at Opus Restaurant, Cornwall Street, Birmingham on 3rd June, 2015, attended by Professor Mark Hart, Professor of Small Business and Entrepreneurship and Programme Director of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Midlands programme and Professor George Feiger, Executive Dean, Aston Business School.
Professor George Feiger said: “These entrepreneurial business leaders are making a great contribution to the work of Aston Business School and in fostering relationships between the small business community and Aston University”.
Guy McEvoy said: “I’m chuffed with this award. I gained a lot from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program and feel I’ve made a real connection with Aston University and Business School. Our offices literally border the University Campus so it’s nice to have this formal connection. We’ve been lucky to recruit some great grads from Aston and look forward to developing our relationship going forward.”
