ednesday 3rd August 2011 was an emotional night as more than 150 friends, family, colleagues, and

during almost an hour of speeches from Fran’s great admirers. Prof Jon Foster-Pedley, Dean and Director of Henley Business School South Africa, gave the welcoming address, not only reflecting on the past 20 years of Henley, but also sharing future plans with us. “A future that is only possible through the extraordinary and dedicated work of Fran and her team,” he said. It was with sadness that Prof Foster-Pedley announced Fran’s early retirement at the end of August due to ill health from cancer. “We will miss her, and today is about thanking her and celebrating a remarkable life.”
