York St John business school sponsors Press Business Awards

York Business School at York St John University is proudly sponsoring this year’s Press Business Awards.

This celebrates the outstanding businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations whose innovation and leadership is shaping the future of York and the wider region.

This sponsorship comes at an excellent time following the opening of the university’s new Kings Manor site in the centre of York.

Developing the next generation of business leaders 

Kings Manor will provide a new hub for engagement between the wider community and University. It will include dedicated facilities for York Business School’s Business Clinic and York St John Law Clinic.

Through these clinics, academics and student colleagues provide pro bono business consultancy and legal support to organisations across the city and region. This gives students valuable work experience of working on real-world challenges.
