Two construction industry heavyweights have received honorary doctorates from Birmingham City University. Anthony McCourt, founder of city-based residential developer Court Collaboration, and Ann Bentley, former global chairwoman of property consultancy Rider Levett Bucknall, have been handed the honours.
Students graduating from the BCU's faculty of computing, engineering and the built environment, heard from the pair as they received their accolades for their outstanding contribution to real estate and the built environment at a ceremony at Symphony Hall.
Ms Bentley also received the honorary doctorate for her exceptional service to the university where she is a visiting professor.
