The PHHPA are proud to introduce Professor Mark Watson-Gandy who has agreed to be our legal advisor. He will be one of the team of highly experienced and knowledgeable professionals supporting our association and no doubt a great asset when we need advice for ourselves or our members.
He specialises in commercial disputes involving banking, company and insolvency law and has won many high profile cases so we know that we are in safe hands.
Achievements
This long list of achievements includes being a practicing barrister at Three Stones Chamber and a visiting professor at both the University of Westminster and the University of Lorraine in France. He is also a Knight of the Order of St Gregory.
He is a columnist for Business Money, the commercial finance magazine and regularly speaks in the media on both legal matters and business education.
Author
Professor Watson-Gandy is a prolific author and following a long list of heavy law based books published “KidsMBA How to build a Successful Business: Essential Skills and Know-How for Future Billionaires” in 2018. He wrote this because he realised that many companies were going under, not because they were bad ideas but because of fundamental mistakes.
He felt that by giving young people a good grounding in business basics then this high attrition rate (a massive 50% of start-ups fail within the first five years in the UK) might be avoided. As well as writing his book Professor Mark Watson Gandy founded KidsMBA and, along with a team of experts, developed an intensive 2-day programme providing an introduction to skills and knowledge needed when starting out in a business. The course is aimed at 12-15 year olds and is now delivered under licence in over 40 countries worldwide both live and remotely.
Simple
He most recently wrote “Simple Contract Law, A Brief Introduction to English Contract Law”, which is available on Amazon.
This book is a breath of fresh air. It is written in plain English, to the point and filled with amusing Illustrations by Gordon Collett. This is probably not what you expect to hear about a book on law!
The PHHPA would like to extend the warmest of welcomes to Professor Mark and look forward to a long
and happy relationship.
