ABE news


MALcOLM siMPsOn


It is with deep regret that we report the death of one of ABE’s Council members, Malcolm Simpson. Malcolm had a long and


distinguished career in higher education. For many years he was at South West London College, progressing to Assistant Principal. When Malcolm left public sector education he became Principal at the London School of Management. An outstanding lecturer, he


enriched the lives of large numbers of students, many of whom were from outside the UK. His interpersonal skills were particularly good and he was both well liked and respected. Malcolm was also a very good linguist and spoke French, German, Spanish and Japanese. Malcolm served on ABE’s Council


for a number of years; his views and comments were always listened to for their depth and interest. He will be sorely missed. He leaves a wife and a son, and our thoughts are with them at this very sad time.


ABE forms agreement with Gabbitas


In a unique collaboration, ABE has co-designed summer school courses with Gabbitas (a


leading global expert in British independent education) to provide an innovative business


programme for those who aspire to study business or related courses in the UK. Gabbitas has adapted numerous ABE syllabuses to develop these short courses and ABE will award the students with a certificate on completion of their course. This inspiring and


developmental programme will be held at Stowe School which is set in the heart of beautiful


4


English countryside, about an hour north-west of London. ABE wish the summer school well and look forward to similar events in the future. More information from: Summer school administrator (+44)(0)207 734 0160 or bethan.buchanan@ gabbitas.co.uk
