11. I have been associated with Cambridge Marketing
Colleges since it was founded. Throughout this period
I have been so impressed with the quality of their
teaching and their total commitment to their students and
delegates, that I was delighted to accept their invitation
to become Academic Advisor, a role I take very seriously.
As a Professor at Cranfield, Henley, Warwick, Aston and
Bradford Business Schools, as well as being Vice-Dean of
CIM’s Academic Senate, I keep fully abreast of the latest
developments in marketing practice and education and
I have no hesitation in recommending CMC to anyone
interested in furthering their career in marketing. I say on
the cover of CMC’s brochure “A fantastic success story.
A deserved market leader” - I mean every word!
