    About

    Personal Statement

    I am a Professor of Marketing and the Director of Education for the Marketing Subject Group.

    With its central focus of improving quality of life for vulnerable consumers, my research examines ways in which marginalized consumers face difficulties in access to and consumption of products and services. My recent research in health emphasizes the ways in which service needs to be refined in order to improve access and experience for vulnerable consumers. I have expertise in marketing to older consumers, successfully completing several consultancy projects with SMEs and mainstream brands in both the public and private sector. I have gained international recognition for my research, illustrated by several invitations to speak at international conferences and several international research awards including two Emerald Literati Awards.

    More recently my research has incorporated health, and in particular palliative and end-of-life care. To date I have completed research projects with several NHS palliative care providers and several different hospices around the UK. This work has attracted several grants and an invitation to speak at Westminster. In 2018 I received a Research Award in recognition of my research achievements.

    I have experience of teaching a range of marketing courses to undergraduate and postgraduate students, and have received School teaching excellence awards for three years. I particularly like to focus on authentic assessments that are applied to real-world issues and develop and enhance lifelong learning skills for students. In 2021 I won a Faculty Learning, Teaching and Student Experience Award.
