![]() ![]() I had a very, very good social life at Middlesex and that was because I studied at Hendon but I lived at the halls of residence over at White Hart Lane so I was with a lot of the Humanities students from that campus. I probably would have to say the tennis aspect. What is your fondest memory of life at Middlesex? It was a bit mixed and there was always development work going on, but I know that it has changed a lot since then. The facilities were varied at the time and I went to quite a few sessions in portacabins behind the main Hendon building, but the main lecture halls and study groups were dotted around the College Building. What were the facilities like in your department? I worked in the retail division of ICL installing modern till systems and cash registers into retailers and I ended up being the MD of a company which sells EPOS (electronic point of sale) systems to retailer so you could say that the experience was the seed for my career. I worked for a company called ICL – a very big British IT company that was later bought up by Fujitsu – and that work experience had a massive impact on my later career. The variety of the subjects was very interesting and I very much enjoyed the sandwich course aspect because of the work experience that I was able to do. What aspects of your course did you enjoy most? For students such as myself who weren't quite set on a specific career path it left your options open. There was quite a lot of broad business based skills that you could learn about and you then had the opportunity to specialise, so if you wanted to go down the law route or the economics route you could focus on those areas further down the line. The broad spectrum of topics covered was the main attraction – it covered economics, maths, law, finance, IT and more. What attracted you to your course and made you apply? ![]() Second was that at the time there was a high level tennis academy at the Tottenham campus and I play a lot of tennis so that was a big draw for me. The first was that I wasn't quite certain on my career path and the business studies degree was appealing because it covered a broad range of topics then allowed you to get work experience and narrow down your topics of study in the final year.
