Fiona receives an honorary doctorate from Leeds Beckett University for services to sustainability within the event industry.

Events expert and three times Managing Director (MD) of companies Positive Impact, Sustainable Events Ltd and Organise This, Fiona Pelham, has received an Honorary Doctorate from Leeds Metropolitan University. Fiona, who was Chair of ISO 20121, Technical Advisor for the environment for the England 2018 World Cup Bid and Chair elect for Meeting Professionals International is one of the most influential women in the events industry, in particular as a voice for sustainability.

The original video of the award conferment from 2014 was lost, and so a re-recording took place in 2024, along with an updated profile about Fiona on the University website.
