I like universities...

I like universities...

You can tell that from my CV (view my LinkedIn profile here: Peter Chalder-Wood)

I've studied at two (Newcastle University and Durham University).

I've worked at two (in 3 different jobs).

• finding new customers and managing the marketing at a business-facing engineering design unit at Newcastle.
• Marketing Manager of the students' union at Newcastle.
• Business Development Manager at the University of Sunderland.

I currently work at the University of Sunderland.

I'm not an academic (as in lecturer or researcher), but I talk to businesses and other organisations about their problems and see if the university can help them. Then I work out ways how to help them.

It's great; hardly feels like work when it is going well...


Some of the things we do to help companies can be found on the University's business pages.

Welcome from Peter

Welcome to my personal blog.

I'm Peter Chalder-Wood and I'm going to use this to add some more stuff to the Interweb thing-me-bob.

There will be some random thoughts, some work things, some useful things I've found over the years...


Opinions expressed here are my personal ones and are not official comment from any of the organisations I'm connected to. 


I will sort and filter it in due course.

Hopefully you will find bits of it slightly amusing.

...here's hoping, anyway!
