Since 2018 he has been the Chairman of University of Europe for Applied Sciences in Germany and since 2019 the Vice-Chancellor of Arden University in the UK.[1] He is the founding chairman of the Association of Cost Lawyers Training,[2] the founding chairman of Turner Schools[3] a multi academy trust charity set up to help disadvantaged children in Folkestone, Kent, a non-executive director of UCFB[4] (an innovative Football Higher Education Institution), an advisory board member of WONKHE[5] for Higher Education.
He lectured in criminal law at the University of East Anglia, Banking Law at the City University London, Tort Law at the University of Leeds & Leeds Metropolitan University and became a senior lecturer at London Guildhall University before joining BPP Law School in 1996. He helped to establish the first Bar Vocational Course at BPP Law School, becoming the leader of the Legal Practice Course leading the team that created the innovative "City LPC"[6] for "magic circle" law firms in 2000, which propelled BPP Law School from an intake of less than 100 students to over 3,000 opening new centres in Leeds,[7] Manchester.[8] He became director of the publicly listed company, BPP Holdings Limited and chairman of BPP Law School.

In 2009 BPP College was acquired by the Apollo Education Group.[10] In 2010 BPP College was granted the title of BPP University College[11] and later launched a School of Health Studies[12] and a School of Foundation & English Language Studies.[13] In 2013 BPP was granted full University title following a successful review by the QAA and HEFCE.[14] In December 2013 BPP University was voted best Higher Education Provider in the UK.[15]
