Role
After more than 20 years at NTU and previously Principal Lecturer, Tony now works part-time as a Senior Lecturer (Teaching and Research) in the Department of Marketing.
Tony’s primary roles now are as researcher, doctoral supervisor and occasional lecturer. He has published regularly in ABS3* journals and works on research with various colleagues as both collaborator and mentor. As doctoral supervisor Tony has 12 completions and serves currently both as Director of Studies and support supervisor for a diverse group of current doctoral candidates, both PhD and DBA. A substantive part of Tony’s role relates to the encouragement and support of university research culture and he has a range of associated responsibilities: within the Department of Marketing he performs research-related monitoring activities; at School level is a member of the C17 (Business and Management) REF review panel; and for the College (Business, Law and Social Sciences) acts as reviewer for research ethics applications and as doctoral viva independent chair.
Tony’s teaching has largely focused on Services Marketing, and he has both developed and led programmes and modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate level in this field. He currently delivers ad hoc lectures at colleague’s request in his specialist research topics, including consumer value and the human/technology service interface. Given a further interest in study pertaining to the notion of ‘student as consumer’ Tony has for many years combined teaching with research, in addition to championing and performing research-led teaching.

He served as senior manager at various Nottingham-based companies before finally moving into management consultancy.
