Trosolwyg

Trevor graduated from the University of Warwick with a first class degree in Mathematics and Economics in 1974 and gained his PhD in econometric history from the University of Wales in 1982.

He came to Cardiff as a tutorial fellow in August 1976, becoming a lecturer two years later. In 1997 he was appointed senior lecturer and became a professor in 2004, largely on the basis of his research work in accounting and business history.

Trevor's early research work was on the economic and business history of the British coal industry, and especially the south Wales coalfield, and this remained his main field of interest until the late 1980s, when he joined forces with the eminent accounting historian, J.R. (Dick) Edwards to conduct research into the development of cost and management accounting, not only in Britain but also France and other countries. Together with Dick Edwards, Trevor launched the journal, Accounting, Business & Financial History (now Accounting History Review) in 1990 and they remained as joint editors through until the end of 2010. The fruits of their joint research work over 20 years can be found in A History of Management Accounting – The British Experience, published by Routledge in 2013.

In the last eighteen months, Trevor has returned to his earlier interest, the history of the south Wales coal industry, and his current research in this area focuses on the coal export trade. Nevertheless, Trevor continues to collaborate with colleagues around the world on issues in accounting history and has recently been appointed for three years as a Research Fellow at the Research Institute for Economics and Business Administration, Kobe University, Japan, where he is working with Professor Masayoshi Noguchi on budgetary control during the 1920s and 1930s in Japanese special companies.

Bywgraffiad

Having graduated from the University of Warwick with a first class degree in Mathematics and Economics in 1974, I came to Cardiff in August 1976 as a tutorial fellow in Economics and Economic History, having been a research assistant at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth in 1974-75, and a tutor in Economics at the University of Exeter in 1975-76. I was appointed as a lecturer in Economics and Economic History in 1978, and gained my PhD in econometric history in 1982 from the University of Wales. I was subsequently appointed senior lecturer in 1997 and Professor of 'Accounting and Business' History in 2004, largely on the basis of my research work in the history of accounting and business/management history.

My early research work, including that for my PhD thesis ('Productivity in the British Coal Industry, 1874-1913'), focused on the economic and business history of the British coal industry, especially the south Wales coalfield, and this remained my main field of interest until the late 1980s, when I teamed up with the eminent accounting historian, J.R. (Dick) Edwards, to conduct research into the development of cost and management accounting in Britain. The latter ultimately resulted in the publicaton of the fruits of our joint research to that point in time in A History of Management Accounting – The British Experience, published by Routledge in 2013. Together with Dick Edwards I helped to launch the journal, Accounting, Business & Financial History (now Accounting History Review) in 1990, and we jointly edited the journal through until the end of 2010. Through this experience, I developed links with researchers in France, Italy and Japan which has resulted in a number of joint publications over the years. While most of my current research is undertaken on my own account, from time to time Dick and I continue to publish joint papers on the history of accounting in Britain.
