Bristol University appoints new Business School dean
“Now is a good time to unfollow me if you don’t want to hear about exciting job opportunities, my brilliant colleagues or our amazing students,” said professor Brian Squire, the new dean of the University of Bristol’s Business School in a post announcing his new appointment on LinkedIn.
Professor Squire was appointed dean in early August, having previously served as the deputy dean of the Business School (Temple Quarter Innovation and Enterprise).
His research interests include areas of operations and supply chains, exploring properties that create resilience, innovation and sustainability.
