The Sainsbury Management Fellowship organisation was established in 1987 by David Sainsbury (now Lord Sainsbury of Turville) to develop UK engineers into industry leaders, thereby raising UK competitiveness in engineering, manufacturing and construction businesses. Lord Sainsbury noted the relative lack of engineering representation of the boards of UK industries, especially compared to corresponding companies from Germany or Japan.
The Sainsbury Management Fellowship assists engineers in obtaining degrees in Business Administration at prominent business schools.
By 2011 the scheme had supported 275 engineers in gaining an MBA. It grants an average of ten scholarships each year.

Famous quotes containing the words management and/or fellowship:
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“A Country is not a mere territory; the particular territory is only its foundation. The Country is the idea which rises upon that foundation; it is the sentiment of love, the sense of fellowship which binds together all the sons of that territory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
