History
EDHEC Business School was founded in 1906 by entrepreneurs from the North of France.[6] Motte Duthoit, leading textile manufacturer and mayor of Roubaix, France, purchased the land known as “La campagne” on which EDHEC headquarters currently stand. A Manor house was built in the Anglo-Norman style by architect Gréber. Formerly home of the Motte family, the Manor now serves as a training centre for EDHEC Executive Education. "EDHEC" is originally an acronym for the French "École des Hautes Etudes Commerciales du Nord" or “School of Higher Education in Business Administration from the North”.
