Agri-food graduates learn how to grow in recession
THE University of Ulster's MSc in Agri-food Business Development is helping new and established company managers to grow their business during challenging economic times.
The Masters students have been studying part time for two years while also working in this competitive business sector. But following today’s graduation they will be returning to their jobs full of practical innovative ideas on how to take their businesses forward.
Alistair Toal, from Scarva, Managing Director of household name, Graham’s Bakery in Dromore, says the course has helped him to rejuvenate the local firm that was set up in 1955.
“The Agri-food course turned out to be much more than just an academic course I’ve been able to apply many aspects of the course to my work,” he said.
