Annual ICMA Centre BBQ

The annual ICMA Centre BBQ took place last Thursday and despite the temperamental weather was very well attended. The clouds were lifted when Students saw the delicious range of food on offer and the sun even shone while everyone enjoyed an ice cream.

The barbecue was a great chance to celebrate for those lucky enough to have finished their exams, or a chance for a well earned break for those who still had a few exams remaining. It was also attended by representatives from the Henley Business School alumni relations team, who were on hand to speak about the amazing opportunities offered by the alumni network. Students registering even had the chance to win a prize in the raffle.

The BBQ was an excellent chance for the students to reflect on a busy and exciting academic period and to chat with faculty members or catch up with friends.

A full gallery of pictures from the barbecue are available now on Facebook.

Reflections on switching as a regulatory intervention

3 September 2018
In certain sectors - notably banking, energy and telecoms - customers are exhorted almost continuously to consider ‘switching’ supplier. Organisational structures have been developed to facilitate switching and the strategy of switching tends to be strongly supported by the regulator in those industries. For example, over 40 UK banks and building societies now participate in the ‘Current Account Switch Service’ run by the payment service, Bacs. In the energy sector, there is an ‘EnergySwitch guarantee’ and the regulator (Ofgem) provides advice on how to switch to a new supplier, as does Ofcom for the telecoms sector.
