Training & Development
"I've always enjoyed the challenge of making hard ideas easy, and helping people to leave the room having developed better ideas than when they entered. Teaching and training are natural ways to satisfy the urge."
Dr Richard Meade, Principal Economist
Dr Meade is an accomplished and engaging speaker, and takes pride in being able to communicate complex economic ideas to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
