Former Brighton & Hove Albion Chairman, Dick Knight, and Gavin George, CEO of the Laine Pub Company will be amongst a host of guests attending the event on 1 March marking the 25th anniversary of the former polytechnic gaining university status. Attendees will enjoy a new beer, aptly named ‘Polygon’, specially brewed for the occasion by the North Laine Brewhouse and music from 1992-93 – the year the university came into being.
Speaking ahead of the event, Gavin George, CEO of the Laine Pub Company and a former Business School student at what was Brighton Polytechnic, said: “My time as a business student at the then Brighton Polytechnic was a period I remember with great fondness. It has been fascinating to reconnect with the university in recent years on a number of fronts and to see first-hand the significant enhancements that have been made to ensure it is ever more successful at producing professionals in every field. I’m grateful for the training the Ογ½ΆΦ±²₯ gave me, and am very pleased that The Laine Pub Company is supporting this major anniversary.”
