Travel industry expert Bill Maxwell has been awarded an honorary doctorate from Leeds Met.
Mr Maxwell, a former board member of ABTA, is a Fellow of the Institute of Travel and Tourism and has been a visiting fellow at Leeds Metropolitan since 2007, working on high profile projects such as the Responsibly Holiday Challenge, which saw him working with travel industry giants such as Thomas Cook. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration.
On receiving his award, Mr Maxwell said: "I am both delighted and honoured to receive my doctorate from Leeds Metropolitan University and look forward to continuing my advisory role for the travel and tourism courses."
Mr Maxwell's career in the travel industry has included being commercial manager for National Holidays and board director for Wallace Arnold group. Following the sale of the Wallace Arnold, Mr Maxwell retired, but only for three weeks before he began advising companies small and large, local and international, on their strategies.
He is a former Director of Crimestoppers UK and a Governor of Sports Aid, and currently director and treasurer for the Institute of Travel and Tourism and a Trustee for ABTA benevolent fund.
Leeds Metropolitan was recently announced as a Centre of Excellence for Tourism - the first University in the UK to be awarded the status.
Leeds Metropolitan's week-long graduation celebrations saw more than 3,000 students celebrating their achievements at the Graduation Village at our University's Headingley Campus.
