Sales and marketing professional Shagufta Bibi has been appointed to the fast growing executive education team at Bradford University School of Management.

In the past six months the School has added Bradford & Bingley, Pace and the NHS to an impressive client list that includes, the Royal Bank of Scotland, Industry and Parliament Trust and Emirates Airline.

Shagufta joins Bradford School of Management from her previous post at ROCOL (Ragosine Oil Company), where she was international marketing co-ordinator, responsible for product launches, promotions and brand management.

One of her first tasks will be to promote Ascent - a programme specifically designed to inspire and develop new managers which will launch in May.

Through seven modules the programme covers personal skills such as self-management, managing and influencing teams and developing as a leader, as well as finance, marketing, operations management and strategy.
