In the Spring of 2024, the inaugural Bayes Alumni Awards were launched comprising seven categories and open to the Business School’s entire alumni network. The aim? To give due recognition and coverage of the many tangible contributions made by alumni to business, society, the School community and the lives of others.
An initial pool of 50+ nominations, made either by alumni themselves or submitted by their peers, was then whittled down to a final selection of seven winners, the identity of whom was announced at the festive edition of Bayes Alumni Connect at Bayes’ Finsbury Square site on 9 December.

“Our alumni are notable for the scale of their achievements, in terms of the many industries in which they work, the roles and responsibilities they assume, and the variety of ways in which they make a tangible contribution to making a positive impact on businesses, societies and the lives of other people. What better way to showcase what Bayes Business School seeks to give back to the world than via the achievements of our alumni?”
