Mike Welch an honorary doctor of enterprise

Edinburgh Napier University has made Blackcircles founder Mike Welch an honorary doctor of enterprise at a ceremony held in Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on 7 July.

Professor Andrea Nolan, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of Edinburgh Napier University, commented: “It is exciting to see people who have made such a significant impact on the worlds of science, industry and the arts joining our celebrations. Their drive and talent will inspire our students as they set out to make their own mark on the world.”

In January, Mike Welch was awarded the OBE as part of the Queen’s new year’s honours list.
