At Everything Dinosaur, we try our best to support the wider community.  For example, we were invited to Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) to participate on a panel in support of the University’s bid to maintain their EQUIS accreditation.  EQUIS accreditation is a prestigious international quality benchmarking system for business schools.  It is a highly prized accolade for the business faculty at any university.  Having worked with students and participated in training courses, we wanted to provide our support in this accreditation process. In addition, we believe in giving back to the wider community and helping students and teaching staff where we can. Naturally, I brought a dinosaur model into the University.  It was the CollectA Furcatoceratops dinosaur model.

The CollectA Furcatoceratops Dinosaur Model Goes to University

When explaining to other panel members about what we do it helps to provide tangible evidence of the quality of prehistoric animal figures.  Furthermore, it is a great ice breaker.  It seems that most people are interested in dinosaurs and want to learn more. EQUIS is a comprehensive quality review system for business schools and management institutions. Its rigorous peer-review process signals the overall quality of the institution.  The assessment process is challenging.  Mike outlined the involvement the University had in the development of the Everything Dinosaur Evolution brand.

The CollectA model helped to demonstrate the quality of figures that are available to model collectors.

One of the benefits of a taking a dinosaur to the University is that we get to meet and talk with so many talented and passionate academics and business leaders. We get to talk about dinosaurs too.

Manchester Metropolitan University will be informed of the decision in December (2025). We wish all those involved with the project success.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“It was an honour to be able to visit the University and to help in their submission to EQUIS.  It would be wonderful if Manchester Metropolitan University could once again be awarded this prestigious accolade.”
