Student Testimonials
Student Testimonial
Cranfield School of Management Student
Sarah Willingham (MBA 2003) was appointed MD of the Bombay Bicycle Club restaurant and chain of takeaways in 2004, and is planning to create 40 restaurants and delivery outlets in London alone.

"I could not be happier! Cranfield gave me the time, space, confidence and assistance to achieve my life changing ambitions! I learnt so much in one year that at times I thought my brain might explode - but every good MBA will give you this. So why Cranfield? Above all I learnt about myself. Leadership comes from self-awareness. It is impossible to leave Cranfield without knowing yourself intimately. I learnt my core strengths and my many weaknesses. Today I am able to recruit my teams based on these assessments. I surround myself with people who complement me in every way and whose strengths are my weaknesses.

I loved my job prior to Cranfield but knew that I was only ever going to be truly fulfilled if I set out and did it for myself. I saw a gap in the market, resigned and embarked on a year at Cranfield with my goal in mind. I was able to gear my MBA in the direction that I needed it to take. I built relationships with faculty that have been fundamental in my success today. I was able to take risks knowing that I had a full network of support. I was encouraged to succeed and the environment drove me to achieve my goals.

Today, finally, I have my chain of restaurants and aim to fill that gap in the market. Without the learning from Cranfield I would not have had the confidence and knowledge to negotiate at the level that I have. I was lucky, I chose the right course at exactly the right time and it's really paid off!"
