Today the Sainsbury Management Fellows Society boasts 275
Fellows, 220 of whom are statutory directors and senior advisors
who support boards of UK and international businesses. The
remaining 55 Fellows either hold senior consulting roles or are
entrepreneurs, creating innovative technology companies that add
wealth and jobs to the UK economy. In addition, many Fellows
hold multiple non-executive director positions, bringing the total
number of directorships across the Fellowship to 400.
The Society's aim is to help talented professional engineers to
secure senior positions within blue chip companies where they can
help to improve their performance across the spectrum and thus the
fortune of the UK economy. The Society does this by enabling
highly motivated professional engineers to complement their
technical qualifications and skills with a first-class business
education in an international setting. Consequently, all
Fellows have degrees from leading centres of engineering education,
up to ten years international business experience and their SMF
sponsored MBA from a renowned business school.
In addition to supporting a diversity of organisations - from
blue-chip corporations to innovative SMEs - the Fellows provide a
rich source of knowledge and contacts for the members and are also
an independent source of information and advice to non-members. SMF
provides impartial advice on the commercialisation, economic and
social impact of technology across many industries and
not-for-profit sectors. Drawing on the expertise within the
Fellowship, the Society has also developed special interest groups
which consult with industry, institution and political players on
topics such as climate change and manufacturing in the
21st century.
