HR director to be new head of business school

Henley Management College has picked a human resource director to be its new principal.
Chris Bones is currently group organisation effectiveness and development director for Cadbury Schweppes. He will take up the role on 1 January 2005.
Bones said it was a significant and innovative step for Henley to appoint someone from a commercial background to the principal’s role.
“For me as a customer, it reflects the critical importance for all major business schools to reflect the needs of business in their products, programmes and services as well as in the way in which they work,” he said.
