From the SME Leaders Masterclass to Durham Cathedral: Leadership, History and Reflection
April 24 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm
During my two-day attendance at the SME Leaders Masterclass hosted by Durham University Business School on the 23rd and 24th of April 2026, I had the opportunity to spend time exploring one of the most remarkable landmarks in the North East—Durham Cathedral. The course itself was held in the university’s impressive new Waterside Building, a modern state-of-the-art facility that reflects innovation, leadership, and forward-thinking business development. The SME Leaders Masterclass forms part of Durham University Business School’s wider “Smart and Scale Up” programme, designed to help regional SMEs grow, innovate, and develop stronger strategic leadership. It was an inspiring environment to be in, surrounded by business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals focused on development and progress.
