Another five years has gone by and here I am writing another blog post!

Yes, as you can see, I am writing yet another blog post after an interval of about five years. This has become a tradition, and my excuse is that I have been too busy. However, since I have failed to renew the http://www.beiu.co.uk website, I will be transferring much of the old Buckingham Enterprise & Innovation Unit (BEIU) information, including the podcasts, to this website.

This is thanks to Susanna Booth’s help, as she knows what she is doing with websites, unlike me, a total amateur at running an efficient website and using it to communicate with a wide range of people.

Anyway, now there is a fighting chance that I will re-learn how to run an effective website using WordPress, as it seems to me, and Susanna agrees, that since I last had a go, WordPress has become much easier to use.

Watch this space!

Author: Professor Nigel Adams

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. I am an experienced international business adviser with over 50 years of experience in international business, enterprise, management, marketing & counter-trade. I lived in Poland from 1993 until 2002, working on Polish state company restructuring projects as a British Government Know How Fund Management Adviser. I am a lifetime member, Chartered Marketer and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).
