Dr Clifford Conway - University of Brighton Business School

Clifford is based at the University of Brighton Business School as a lecturer as well as a marketing research consultant and marketing trainer. He initially worked in industry for several electronics companies in a marketing research role. His training expertise ranges from most aspects of marketing to entrepreneurial new venture start-ups.

However, marketing research is his main forte, having completed a number of studies, covering such issues as staff opinion surveys, branding recognition, new product focus groups as well as many studies investigating market size, growth, competition etc.

In conjunction with his wife he has successfully started an international student recruitment agency since 1999, with an office in South Korea and has agency contracts across the UK with leading language schools, FE colleges and universities (see www.edu-cons.com).

He has completed the Chartered Institute Diploma in Marketing, an MBA from Brunel University and has successfully defended his doctoral thesis to examiners at the University of Kingston and will be awarded a Doctorate in Business Administration.

Clifford took over the presidency of BHCC in November 2003, having previously served as VP and executive member from 1999. During this time the Chamber has grown significantly and is generally seen as the premier business networking organisation in the city.
