Our Founder and Chairman, Steve Morgan CBE, has received an honorary degree from the University of Liverpool.
Steve accepted the conferment of the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws (LLD) at a ceremony held on 18 July 2025 at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall during graduation week where 7,500 people graduated.
University of Liverpool Vice-Chancellor Professor Tim Jones said:
“I am delighted to celebrate and welcome our honorary graduates into the University of Liverpool community – individuals whose remarkable achievements and meaningful connections to the University serve as a source of inspiration for us all.
“As students and their families gather to honour years of hard work and commitment, our honorary graduates not only receive formal recognition for their contributions but also share their journeys, offering wisdom, encouragement, and invaluable insights. These stories help guide our graduands as they prepare to take their next steps, reminding them of the many paths to success and the impact they, too, can make in the world.”
Upon receiving the award, Steve Morgan said:
“I am delighted and truly humbled to receive an honorary Doctorate from the University of Liverpool and be recognised for the philanthropic work of the Foundation.
“Having grown up in Liverpool and witnessing the challenges the region has, and is facing, improving education outcomes for our young people has always been one of our aims. Being connected to the University in this way is a real privilege and I look forward to continuing our support in this area.”
