“Harvey Nichols Birmingham is once again delighted to be supporting the BA (Hons) Fashion Retail Management graduates at BCU (formerly UCE Birmingham). It is the fourth year we have worked closely with staff and students at the Institute of Art and Design and we continue to be extremely impressed by what we have seen. As a brand leader we believe very strongly in helping to promote education in the retail sector. We see this as a way of investing and nurturing our future talent and ensuring this industry continues to attract enthusiastic and dynamic people in the years to come. This is a rewarding and exciting industry and by working closely with the students we can share our experience.
As we have come to expect, the work produced by the students this year is of the highest quality, and it is very encouraging to see such innovative ideas come to the fore. The time and effort in ensuring that the work is of the most professional standard is something Birmingham and its retail sector is extremely proud of. Harvey Nichols wishes to congratulate the BA(Hons) Fashion Retail Management 2008 graduates for a host of brilliant ideas. We hope that we in turn have inspired and encouraged this generation towards bright new futures in fashion retailing.”
