"after studying at the University of East London, received a Master's degree in business administration from Michigan State University.

Trotman was a member of the Royal Air Force before joining Ford in 1955 as a management trainee in the United Kingdom"

It is not clear to me here where the education periods fit between (or within) the work periods. Perhaps the education events could be mentioned again among the RAF and Ford events in the order in which they all happened. Also did Ford or the RAF sponsor his education?

Trotman was born 1933, conscription was still in force when he was 18yo (1951) if he served his National Service in RAF for 2 years 1953/4 he joined Ford in 1954. The University of East London did not exist at that time, it was formed later out of a collection of Technical (Community) Colleges. South East and South West Technical Colleges and Ford would have paid his tuition fees. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.73.150.193 (talk) 17:22, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
