The chief executive of the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) has been named ‘Business Leader of the Year’ by the University of Wolverhampton.

Dr Clive Hickman was recognised for his contribution to industry through innovative leadership at the Business Achievement Awards at Molineux Stadium.

Hickman said: “It was a privilege and an honour to be recognised with a Business Achievement Award by the university. I owe my thanks to the university and the opportunity it gave me at the start of my career.”

The judges were tasked with selecting a former graduate of the university who was an ‘outstanding leader’ within business or industry, had risen to a position of leadership and could demonstrate how their skills enabled them to contribute an improvement.

Deputy vice-chancellor professor Ian Oakes said: “The Business Achievement Awards enable us to celebrate graduates, employers and organisations who deserve recognition for their excellent contribution to business, enterprise and the economy.”
