CSR activities:

A longstanding mutually beneficial relationship exists between Checkprint and Leicester Business School, De Montfort University. In the past 18 months this has involved a member of the Checkprint Board sitting on a judging panel for student presentations, and inviting students into Checkprint to act as management consultants for the day, giving advice on a ‘business problem’. Leicester business school has also used Checkprint as a case study in an Entrepreneurship course to demonstrate a successful management buyout.

This type of engagement gives the students the opportunity to experience at first hand the way that theory and real life come together in the resolution of business issues, and hopefully contributes positively to the completion of their degree. It also delivers real benefits for Checkprint as close ties to Leicester Business School provide a close link to the managers of the future, which leads to prime recruitment and development opportunities.
