Jay Blades has become the first chancellor of Buckinghamshire New University and received an honorary doctorate for his significant contribution to furniture-making and crafts and community work during an investiture ceremony.
TV presenter and furniture restorer Blades said BNU is “woven” into his history and DNA and “always feels like coming home” when talking about being invested as the university’s inaugural chancellor. “So to become the first chancellor for a university that’s shaped the person I am today, and on top of that to receive an honorary doctorate, is a real wow moment. And I know that together BNU and I are going to achieve amazing things.
The processional music was also specially created by members of the RAF Central Band under the direction of the RAF’s principal director of music, Wing Commander Morrell. “I know that our students will be inspired by Jay’s example as they similarly seek to make a real difference to their communities, to society and in their chosen careers.”
“Today our university community celebrates Jay’s many achievements as we look forward to all that lies ahead during his chancellorship.”
