Professional Services Awards

The Professional Services Awards add to the existing annual awards schemes open to Academic Services colleagues, meaning all colleagues can now be recognised for their work at the University.

Four winning colleagues will be announced at an awards ceremony to be held in June, and each will receive a prize of £750 (minus tax) and the names of all nominated colleagues will be published on the website.

The awards will be run and judged by a committee of Professional Services Working Group members:  

  • Joshua Madrid, Chair
  • Susie Morse, Secretary
  • Bonhi Bhattacharya
  • Suzanne Abraham
  • Rob Boreham-Fish
  • Jude Brindley
  • Natasha Kennedy
  • Patrick Abbott
  • Kat Seaman
  • Danie Woodbridge.

Members include volunteers from the VC's Termly Professional Services group.
