Bangor Business School Appoints New Head

Professor John Thornton, Professor of Global Finance, has been appointed as the new Head of Bangor Business School.

He takes over from Professor Phil Molyneux, who has relinquished the role in order to focus on his position as Head of the College of Business, Social Sciences and Law.

The trio of internal appointments is made up by Professor Kostas Nikolopoulos, who replaces Professor Thornton as the College’s Director of Research.

Professor Thornton’s appointment comes as the School embarks on a new and exciting venture in the shape of the Bangor Business School London Centre, which will accept its first cohort of students from September 2011. Elizabeth De-Ben Rockson was recently announced as Centre Manager in the first London-based appointment to be made.
