1975 Peter Wurm
BSc Hotel and Catering Management
Professor Ian Smalley Metallurgy and Crystallography
An academic life: to Battersea Poly to study in 1954, then on to City University for PhD, then UCL, Leeds University, New Zealand Soil Bureau, Waterloo University (Canada), Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham Trent, then Leicester again. Studying loess — an airfall silty sediment of great consequence for palaeochronology. Still attached to the University of Leicester but in an honorary capacity; writing a few papers and doing some examining. Also a bookseller and being impressed by great grandchildren.

Dr Roger Shrimpton BSc Nutrition and Dietetics
Since graduating 47 years ago I gained a masters and doctorate in Nutrition from the University of London. I have lived and worked in Indonesia, Brazil, USA, and Switzerland for six different employers, including UNICEF and the UN in Geneva as Secretary of the United Nations System Standing Committee on Nutrition (UN-SCN). Since retiring in 2009, we have been living in Portugal, and I also took an honorary position as Adjunct Professor at Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and started a course on the Double Burden of Malnutrition. But this year, finally, I have retired. Our second granddaughter was born in May.
Alan Sacks BSc Hotel and Catering Management
After a very busy four years at Surrey, including lots of rugby and cricket and serving two terms as Chair of University sports, I secured a job with a major UK hotel company. 1982 was a big year. I got married and emigrated to Canada. After living in Toronto and Ottawa for seven years we moved to Vancouver, where we have lived ever since. My career included hotel management for a Canadian hotel chain; owning and operating a hotel supply business and seven years as Executive Director of a hospitality industry charity. I have two sons and two wonderful granddaughters.
Following my graduation, I worked in London as Night Manager at the Britannia Hotel and later as Assistant Manager at the Mount Royal Hotel. In 1979 I moved to Israel where I joined a large marketing company. In 1988 I took up the position of Operations Manager for a large outgoing tourist travel company. I also became a tour manager on a part-time basis. Three years later, I became Israeli Manager for a German Foundation with the responsibility of funding public projects. In 2003 I was appointed Director of the Center for Law and Mass Media at Ariel University from which I retired two years ago, aged 68. I am the proud father of three and grandfather of five.
