He also served on the RCA's Senior Management Team from 2004 to 2015. Dr Paul Thompson, RCA Rector, said: “Jeremy Myerson's research into inclusive design and the future of the workplace is acknowledged as world leading. While I am sorry to see him stand down from the directorship of the Centre, I delighted that he will continue working at the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design as a research professor.”
