Bank of England Executive Director to speak at Teesside

10 May 2011

 

Issues surrounding financial stability and the economic outlook will be among the timely topics of debate at Teesside University Business School’s annual conference on Tuesday 17 May.

There will be an opportunity to hear the Bank of England’s view on aspects of these important topics when Andy Haldane, Executive Director, Financial Stability at the Bank of England, is the keynote speaker at the conference.

It also comes ahead of Teesside’s involvement in Universities Week from June 13 to 19, which will include focus on growing relationships between small or mid-size businesses and universities.

Alastair Thomson, Dean of the Business School, said: 'We are pleased to give the Tees Valley business community the opportunity to hear at first hand from one of the UK's leading economic policymakers. By adding to the mix a leader in urban regeneration, a strategic executive coach and an academic who has made a detailed study of the Tees Valley economy, you can be sure that this will be an informative, motivating and worthwhile event for anyone in business.'

Businesses are invited to attend the annual conference and share ideas for making organisations more profitable, more stable, and more sustainable in this tough current climate. The event will culminate with a buffet lunch entertainment from the Noel Dennis Jazz Band.

Other speakers at the event include Stephen Catchpole, Chief Executive of Tees Valley Unlimited, executive coach Juliette Lee and Stephen James, Senior Lecturer in Economics at the University’s Business School. Since his appointment as Chief Executive of Tees Valley Unlimited in November 2010, Stephen Catchpole is already making a significant impact on business life in the Tees Valley. He will reveal more about plans for the future at this special event.

Juliette Lee is an accomplished speaker who regularly presents to senior executive groups up and down the country.

Stephen James has been carrying out research in the economic and business history of the iron and steel industry. He will be looking at that earlier transition from iron to steel and from small to large firms.
