"I want to be there for other people and help people related to Teesside to flourish and perhaps be a role model for other people. "Teesside University stands for excellence and an amazing education. "I've dealt with the University all through my life, studying at the University, work placement from school at the University, right the way through to being a Governor at the University and now today with the honorary doctorate, it's an absolute pleasure. "Teesside University holds a massive role within the region, it stands for everything that everyone strives and works for; its morals, its ethics, its education.
