Isabell Hodgson is the Head of Centre for Hospitality and Retailing Management at Leeds Metropolitan University.  She is a graduate of Queen Margaret University Edinburgh in hospitality and Leicester University where she studied a MSc in Training.  She has experience of teaching across a wide range of subject areas including management principles, marketing and consumer behaviour and skills development to tourism, hospitality and retailing courses.  More recently she has led the Centre in new curriculum developments including the first undergraduate programme in Hospitality Leadership, the first of its kind in the UK and is currently the Co-chair of CHME (Council for Hospitality Management Education). Further she chairs the Regional University Network forum at Leeds Met for partner colleges which offer Fds in hospitality, tourism and events management.
