Ranjit Singh Dale, founder and chairman of SCP Group, has been awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the University of Wolverhampton for his contributions to business and his efforts to improve the lives of people in the city.
Over the last 25 years, Dale has provided numerous job opportunities through SCP Group and played an active role in supporting his community.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Dale helped raise more than £25,000 to provide vital safety equipment for the NHS. This fundraising effort enabled the distribution of 1,600 work overalls and 2,000 hand sanitisers and dispensers to frontline workers.
Reflecting on the honour, Dale said, “I feel very proud, especially being born and bred in Wolverhampton, and coming to Wolverhampton University to receive these honours is a massive thing. It’s a huge personal achievement, especially for my family, who are all here in the city.”
The University of Wolverhampton presents Honorary Fellowships to individuals who have made significant contributions in their field. Dale’s entrepreneurial journey with SCP Group, which includes several successful brands like Scaffolding Products Online and Safelinx, played a key role in his recognition.
His charity work, including his role as chairman of Punjab United Football Club and raising funds for local causes, has further solidified his positive impact on the community.
Reflecting on his experiences, Dale added, “What we have in England is a massive opportunity. If you want it, you can get it. You’ve just got to be strong and determined to reach your goals.”
Dale’s Honorary Fellowship serves as recognition not only for his business achievements but also for his ongoing commitment to improving lives in Wolverhampton.
