A monitor-based device is currently under development. Further, MSU is pleased to announce the appointment of Steve Wilkinson as Operations Director. Bringing to MSU his extensive experience in general management, gained during the 20 years in the structured environment of an international corporate and retail banking group, Steve is able to combine his exceptional understanding of forming an effective business unit, while creating and developing a commercial enterprise, utilizing his sound entrepreneurial, interpersonal and leadership skills. Having studied at the Sheffield Hallamshire University during the 1980s, his degree in Financial Services prepared him for the role as a senior lecturer, covering economics, international trade and management techniques.
