I am sure that the many friends, colleagues and associates of the Centre for Education and Industry (CEI), and those within the University more widely, will be saddened to learn that Professor John Woolhouse, the founding Director of CEI, died suddenly at his home in Coventry on Thursday 31 January. John established the Centre in January 1988 and was looking forward to celebrating our 20th birthday with us.
