About
Our mission
The Society exists to unlock the extraordinary, and often untapped, potential of distinguished individuals recognised by Universities worldwide.
Our purpose
We enable institutions to draw on the insight, influence and networks of their Honorary Doctors, and we give our Fellows meaningful opportunities to connect, collaborate and contribute, so that distinction becomes a catalyst for purpose and lasting impact.

The founder
Andy Campbell D.Univ FSHD, Founder
Andy is an entrepreneurial leader with a record of founding and scaling ventures, with experience in securing global contracts and raising venture capital. He has worked across strategy, governance, financial planning and stakeholder engagement in the private, public, academic and charitable sectors.
He is Founder and Chief Executive of Space Network, an international organisation advancing the commercialisation of the global space sector. He is a trustee on the board of Young Enterprise UK and previously chaired Young Enterprise Scotland. He champions STEM education and youth empowerment, and has established two charities supporting entrepreneurs and community regeneration.
In 2019 Andy received his honorary doctorate from the University of the West of Scotland. At that moment Andy pledged to support the University and its community. It was in reviewing the past recipients of honorary doctorates that Andy realised the huge, untapped potential and resource that Honorary Doctors represented. It was also clear that those Honorary Doctors, when utilised collectively, could deliver considerable societal impact. The Society of Honorary Doctors was formed on those founding principles.
