Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) is to host an exclusive event with CEO Alex Tunbridge and Director of Football Mark Bonner this week...
The free event, which will take place at ARU’s East Road campus on Thursday, 3 April (6pm-7.30pm), will feature Cambridge United’s CEO Alex Tunbridge and Director of Football Mark Bonner.
The ARU talk, which is open to the public, promises to give a unique insight into the inner workings of Cambridge United.
Guests will learn about the club’s operations, its financial and media strategies, future investment plans, including stadium development projects, and how the academy and player acquisitions can be used to strengthen the playing squad.
As Cambridge United’s Education Partner, ARU is working closely with both the football club and the Cambridge United Foundation to improve health and wellbeing, and raise aspirations, across the city.
Dale Gregory, who oversees ARU’s partnership with Cambridge United, will host the event. He said: “This promises to be a fascinating evening for anyone interested in football, not just fans of the U’s.
“As shown by the Fair Game Index report earlier this season, Cambridge United are a model club, coming top in the English Football League and third overall in the entire football pyramid, behind only Spurs and Manchester United.
“As well as discussing the club’s formidable behind-the-scenes operation, the event will highlight the importance of partnerships that benefit fans, the local community, and the city of Cambridge as a whole.”
