A local business leader has been awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the University of Wolverhampton for his business achievements over a career spanning almost thirty years. 

Neil Lloyd joined FBC Manby Bowdler as Sales Director in 2015.

Neil became Managing Director in 2020 and is a member of the Executive Board. He was listed in The Lawyers ‘Hot 100’ list in 2023. 

Honorary awards are presented by the University of Wolverhampton to people who have made a significant contribution to their field of expertise.
