The London College of Business Studies (LCBS) has opened a new campus in Ilford, East London. A special event was held to mark the opening. A modern IT suite at the campus was named after Lord Patel of Bradford OBE. Lord Patel attended the event and officially unveiled the IT suite. He thanked the college and spoke about the importance of education. “To be associated with an innovative space dedicated to learning, technology, and empowerment is deeply humbling,” he said. “I hope this suite will inspire students to dream boldly and use their education to create meaningful change.” The new IT suite will give students access to advanced technology and support learning in business, IT, and management. LCBS also announced three scholarships in Lord Patel’s honour. Two will support UK students from under-represented backgrounds. One will fund an international student to study for a full undergraduate degree. These scholarships aim to make education more accessible. Lakbir Singh, part of LCBS’s strategy team, said, “This is more than a new building, it marks a new chapter in LCBS’s story.” Local leader Kam Rai added, “It’s great to see a Lord back us here today... we look forward to working with you.” LCBS says the campus will support growth, equality, and opportunity.
