Former economist to become Master at St Edmund's College

Successfully managing St Edmund's College's continued growth, while deepening its academic community, is the main task that I inherit.

Mr Matthew Bullock

Mr Matthew Bullock takes over from Professor Paul Luzio as Master of St Edmund's in October.

A History student of Peterhouse, Mr Bullock was an economist and banker for most of his career, primarily with Barclays.

As a local bank manager in Cambridge in the late 1970's, he was the first to finance the technology companies then emerging around the University, and from there went on to create the bank's international technology financing team.

Continuing this theme, he later became chair of a successful Cambridge life sciences business, Addenbrooke's Audit Committee, and recently of The Pathology Partnership, which is consolidating all NHS pathology services in the Anglian Region.

Serving for many years as a member of the University's Audit Committee and of the Advisory Boards of the Judge and the Centre for Business Research, he has long trod the boundaries between universities and the commercial world, something that he learned as a child from his father, Lord Bullock, who was the founding Master of St Catherine's College, Oxford and later Vice Chancellor.

Mr Bullock said: "The graduate colleges of Cambridge have grown strongly in the last twenty years and successfully managing St Edmund's College's continued growth, while deepening its academic community, is the main task that I inherit from Paul. Like him, I am sure I will find it a rewarding challenge."
