Well, I have now had two jobs for about 6 weeks and I must admit that I need about 48 hours each day. The reason for this is that my workload in Nigel Adams & Company Ltd increased dramatically, as soon as I accepted the additional job. In addition, the start of any university year is busier that other times.
Although I am enjoying the challenges, I do hope that this is just a short term situation and after Easter things will settle down. I will keep you advised of developments.

I am a Professor and the first Director of the Buckingham Enterprise and Innovation Unit in the Vinson Building at the University of Buckingham in England.
I teach, advise & mentor undergraduate and post-graduate students, especially medical students, and alumni to become more innovative and enterprising by helping to develop their entrepreneurial mindsets.
Between January 2018 and July 2025, the Buckingham Enterprise & Innovation Unit (BEIU) successfully managed the expenditure of about £2 million donated to the University by a successful alumna. We created and developed enterprising and innovative education and other projects in and around the University of Buckingham. As a result of our work, Innovation and Entrepreneurship is one of the university's strategies from 2023 to 2028. (https://www.buckingham.ac.uk/about/strategic-plan)
From 2008 until 2019, I ran and developed the world's first undergraduate Venture Creation Programme (VCP - See https://www.vcplist.com for a definition). On the BSc Business Enterprise (BBE) programme, students had to start and run a real business as an integral part of their honours degree.
Between 2002 and 2011, I was Managing Director of Nigel Adams & Company Ltd, providing business, management, international marketing, recruitment and other support and advice to the management of Western companies to help them establish business operations in Central & Eastern Europe & to improve their sales.
