Rob was appointed as the Executive Director of Finance, Audit & Risk at Falmouth University in 2022 having been in the post of Director of Finance since 2014 and joining the University in 1992. During that time he has been involved with finances across the institution from the early days of European funding and the acquisition of the Penryn Campus, the establishment of the joint venture, Falmouth Exeter Plus, the merger with Dartington College of Arts and in achieving University title.

He is responsible for all aspects of finance across the University, including procurement, and is responsible for financial planning. The importance of working with staff across the institution to de-mystify finances is at the forefront of Rob’s approach to finance, supported by tight controls and rigorous financial management and analysis.

Before working at the University, Rob ran the small business unit for a regional accountancy practice having trained both in practice and commerce; his first finance job being with the regional bus company. Rob is a Chartered Certified Accountant, a member of the Chartered Management Institute and successfully completed the General Management Programme with Cranfield University in 2013.

I have worked for CEG for nearly 20 years now, at our Carlyon Bay project and also the Treledan, Saltash housing scheme.  Putting something back is important to me hence I remain a Trustee of the Cornwall Chamber, the Aspire Academy Trust and the Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum.

Out of work I make the most of the beautiful Cornish countryside walking, cycling, kayaking and SUP on the south coast.
