Football MBA cohort visit Celtic Park
The Football Industries MBA cohort recently visited Celtic Park, Glasgow, home of Celtic F.C.
The students were welcomed by the Head of Business Development and taken on a stadium tour that included viewing the club’s collection of trophies, which total an impressive 101 domestic honours. The tour was followed by a series of insightful speaker sessions from the CEO of the Celtic Foundation, the Commercial Director, E-Commerce Manager and a former FIMBA Graduate – Cheng Zeng, who now works for the club as a business development manager.
FIMBA candidate and student representative, Shah-Zeib Ahmed said:
“Visiting Celtic Park was definitely one of the best club visits during our course. The hosts were very hospitable and I really enjoyed the speakers, who highlighted how Celtic FC grew from its humble beginnings as a club providing food to the poor and how it has to-date maintained this charitable pillar in its strategy. It was also great to see the UK’s only safe-standing section, which must be a fantastic place to enjoy the local derby against the Rangers.”
The visit follows previous trips to Milton Keynes Dons F.C. and Goodison Park, home to local club Everton F.C.
