The University is saddened to learn of the recent death of Dr. Margi Levy, who has passed away at the age of 62. Margi joined Warwick Business School 1992 and was a respected member of academic staff and much-loved lecturer.

Margi was an ex-Labour councillor, a tenacious housing campaigner and co-author with Philip Powell of Strategies for Growth in SMEs: The Role of Information and Information Systems, a set text in many universities throughout the world.

Prof. Mark Taylor, Dean of Warwick Business School, said:

We were very sad to hear the news of Dr Margi Levy passing away. Margi dedicated many years to the Business School and carried on working through her illness with bravery and dignity. She will be fondly remembered by her WBS colleagues. Our thoughts are with her family and her husband Michael Synnott at this difficult time.”
