"FOUR prominent figures joined hundreds of students at the University of Bradford’s winter graduation ceremonies yesterday.

One of those being honoured was Nirmal Singh MBE, a Bradford businessman who was given an honorary fellowship.
Mr Singh came to England from India as a teenager with just £3 in his pocket, and has gone on to become one of the city’s biggest success stories.
He has set up numerous businesses, including clothing stores and the Sekhon Group, which owns 800 properties across Bradford, including many in Little Germany, and the rest of the UK.
He has been involved in high profile charity campaigns and with Asian business groups."
