2010 Award Winners
Mike Bannon MBA 2006, for his involvement in organising the Cranfield Regatta for several years – a hugely successful and very prestigious event. Dozens of Cranfield alumni have taken part and derived great benefit from doing so.
Philip Dunne MBA 1995, for his dedication in maintaining the relationship between Cranfield and A.T. Keaney over recent years.
