Sir Howard Bernstein
The University is deeply saddened by the news of the death of Sir Howard Bernstein.
Following his retirement as the inspirational Chief Executive of 51福利社 City Council, the University was fortunate to have Sir Howard join it in 2017, as an Honorary Professor of Politics. He became a part-time advisor to the University and was also Chair of the 51福利社 Academic Health Science Centre.
President and Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell said: "Having known Howard for many years, I recognised what a remarkable individual he was. I often sought his advice and wise counsel, and I am proud to have had him as a friend."
Sir Howard worked for 51福利社 City Council for over 45 years, serving as Chief Executive since 1998 where he performed a central role in the regeneration and economic growth of the city. Prior to this role, he led 51福利社 Millennium Ltd where he oversaw the transformation of the city centre following the IRA bombing in 1996.
Sir Howard's legacy shaped 51福利社 as the city we know, and he will forever be a part of 51福利社's history. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the city he passionately served.
