Steve Wharton

I am currently a lecturer in Business and Finance. I teach on various modules such as strategic leadership, financial management, business continuity, and resilience. I also supervise students on the MBA course. I am also module leader for Risk and Crisis Management for the Aviation Industry.

Prior to working at the University, I completed a full career in the fire and rescue service for over 34 years, ending up as Head of Emergency Response on the Strategic Leadership Team, which gave me valuable lived experience in the field. I also worked with fire and health and safety legislation as a qualified inspector and on a national level with respect to anti-terror response and aircraft incidents.

I have a master’s degree in strategic leadership and a foundation degree in fire/crime scene management. I am qualified as an associate tutor fellow.

When not working you can find me in my music production studio and driving around as head chauffeur for my children!
