University names professor as new campus Provost

PROFESSOR Chris Haslam been named as the new Provost of the Warrington Campus of the University of Chester following the retirement of Professor Annette McIntosh-Scott.
The professor also holds the post of Senior Pro-Vice-Chancellor and has held a number of positions at the university since joining from the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education and, prior to that, working elsewhere in the higher education sector and in industry.
He said: “I’m very much looking forward to working with both colleagues and students here at Warrington to deliver a high quality and enriching academic experience.
“I’m also very much looking forward to working with businesses, both large and small, in Warrington and its surrounding areas to explore how we can work more closely together – not only to help develop the strength and performance of individual businesses, but also the economic strength of Warrington and the region.
“I really welcome ideas and suggestions as to how the university might work more closely with businesses in the region and I’d be very happy indeed to meet with business colleagues to help develop a better understanding of their needs and how the university might help them.”
