Nigel Wray receives honorary degree from Middlesex University
Nigel Wray is a highly successful entrepreneur, and has been
a shareholder in several companies amongst others, Domino's Pizza, Carlton
Communications and Singer & Friedlander. He also has a strong commercial
background built in a range of business sectors.
Saracens does a lot of excellent work in its local, north
London community. Nigel still calls the area home, too - having attended Mill
Hill School, he now lives in Totteridge.
The Aviva Premiership rugby club, based in Hendon, engages
with some 70,000 local children every year through the Saracens Sport
Foundation. The Foundation encourages sport and education, health and wellbeing
and inclusion.
On receiving the honorary degree, Nigel Wray said: "It's
humbling to be recognised for this award. Saracens and Middlesex are working
closely together to support sport and education in our local community."
He continued: "My advice to new graduates would be to live
your own life, not that of someone else. Make sure that you do something you
have a passion for and not just go for money.
"Passion and people create everything, money may follow - it
doesn't lead."
Middlesex University Vice-Chancellor Professor Michael
Driscoll said: "Nigel is a shining example of someone who has used his skills,
passion and experience to make a huge difference both in business and to the
local community. We're delighted to be able to honour him in this way."
