Research interests
I am Professor of Strategic Risk Management at the University of Bath. Formerly I held academic positions at the Universities of Swansea, Glasgow, and Massey (New Zealand), and professional accountancy positions in the private and public sectors. I have published papers in over 70 academic journals and I am thrice winner of the Geneva Association/Shin Foundation Research Excellence Award. Over the last decade, I have also raised research funds of approximately £500,000 from UK and international public and private sector sources.
In 2011 I was awarded the Kenneth J Black Jr Distinguished Service Award for services to the International Insurance Society (IIS). I am the UK Ambassador for the IIS, and member of the Worshipful Company of Insurers. I am also an international research fellow at the Chinese Center for Social Security and Insurance Research (CCSSIR), Peking University, China, and the Handelsbanken-Wallander Research Fellow at the Department of Economic History, Umeå University, Sweden.
In addition, I have been appointed as consultant for several financial institutions both in the UK and overseas and employed as an expert witness in a major international insurance legal case. I am also Associate Editor of the British Accounting Review, the flagship academic journal of the British Accounting and Finance Association (BAFA), and on the editorial board of the Geneva Papers: Issues and Practice.
