Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
We are delighted to invite you to attend a lecture by entrepreneur Nick English, co-founder of British Luxury watchmaker, Bremont, as part of the St Cross Professionals in Residence programme. The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception and all are welcome.
Nick will set out his inspirational life story from a near fatal plane crash in 1995, to establishing Bremont as a globally recognised watch brand (partnering with Williams Formula 1, Boeing and the UK Ministry of Defence).
Nick is a sought-after keynote speaker and talks with passion about the challenges of securing Bremont’s role in the reinvigoration of British watchmaking and precision component manufacturing, as well as his championing of UK precision engineering.
Since selling his stake in Bremont in 2022, Nick has remained an active investor and brand builder, focused on preserving and growing heritage manufacturing businesses.
The Professionals in Residence Programme is generously sponsored by our alumnus, and prominent U.S. lawyer, Doug Wigdor (1993, MLitt Social Studies), with the scope to attract to St Cross, highly distinguished professionals from outside the world of academia.
