A STILL Game favourite and an entrepreneur dubbed a “scent maverick” are among those to be honoured by a city university.
Actor Gavin Mitchell, best known for his role as Boaby the barman in the hit BBC series, will receive a Doctor of Letters in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the television and media industry from Glasgow Caledonian University.
Jo Malone – who launched Jo Malone London in 1994 – will receive a Doctor of Science during GCU’s summer graduation ceremonies. It comes in recognition of her “outstanding contribution” to business creation in the UK and for her commitment to education.
