The Business School alumni association networking event at Willis.

Business School Alumni Association

The Business School Alumni Association builds on the work of the former Business and Economics at Exeter Graduates' Association (BEEGA).

It was formed at the request of alumni who wish to network with each other through their connections with the Business School and professional interests in business. 

The association provides opportunities for alumni of the Business School, and alumni of the University of Exeter with an interest in the Business School alumni association, to network with and support each other in their professional development.

The association is supported by the Business School alumni advisory board, led by alumni Lucy Berwick - BA CH French and Spanish (Human Resources Assistant, Interdean), Xanthe Bowker-Douglas - BA Acc and Finance w Euro Study (Risk Manager, M & G Investments), Laura Brownsell - BA Economics and Politics with Euro Study (Corporate Communications, Fidelity International Ltd), Colin Fletcher - MA in Economics (Fellow, SAMI Consulting), Nigel Primmer - BA in Economics (Executive Director, Willis) and Galib Virani - Masters in Finance and Investment plus reserach (Associate Director, Afren Plc). The Group meet regularly to discuss alumni engagement events, activities and communications and works to ensure that you find your alumni network rewarding and engaging.

The Association is grateful to a number of alumni who have recently hosted events for the association, including Barry Bateman (Economics 1966), Vice-Chairman of Fidelity International at Fidelity, Nigel Primmer (Economics 1977), Executive Director, Willis Limited, at Willis, Simon Figgis (Law 1977), Partner at KPMG and Christopher Pease (Politics 1980), Director of Private Clients at Sarasin & Partners.
