Entrepreneur in Residence

Liz Taylor has been selected to join the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) as an Entrepreneur in Residence. Joining a team of business figureheads from across the northwest region, Liz will call upon her 35 years of experience at the forefront of the UK’s event industry, her in-depth knowledge of the hospitality sector, and her acumen as a business founder and entrepreneur, to enhance the students’ experience at the university.

UCLan selects its educational contributors in a stringent vetting and recruitment process, with only those who can genuinely add real insight, time, and experience to students being selected for the prestigious Entrepreneur in Residence programme. Liz and the other entrepreneurs engage with students from a variety of courses through a combination of masterclasses, keynotes, and Q&A sessions. In addition, they may provide innovative projects for students to work on and advise on curriculum relevant to their industry.
