Dr Nick Hubbard

Biography

As Head of Division, my role is to ensure that the courses, research and other activities within the Division operate smoothly and effectively and develop a strategy for our development. My teaching interests are varied and focus on tourism and transport but I also undertake work related to skills development of logistics students to enable them to work in a global business environment. My work in this areas enables me to visit many countries and experience differing business cultures which I can feed back into our own students' experience

Research & Scholarship

My research has previously focussed on the use of hotel occupancy performance data as a surrogate measure of tourist activity within an area. In recent years, I have been involved in the analysis of the skills and competences required of the logistics workforce within a UK, European and global setting and we recently hosted the annual European Forum of Logistics Education.
