WHY WAS SAINSBURY MANAGEMENT FELLOWS ESTABLISHED?
In 1987, David Sainsbury, now Lord Sainsbury of Turville saw that there were few engineers in leadership positions in UK business, which was a competitive disadvantage for UK plcs. Lord Sainsbury established the prestigious Sainsbury Management Fellows MBA Scholarship Scheme, to increase the quantity and quality of engineers in senior executive positions in UK companies.
