Our universities are not only among our most valuable national assets, they are also incredibly complex and demanding institutions in which to work. The pressures on those responsible for guiding them through the challenging terrain of the last few years, which have seen seismic shifts in higher education policy, have been particularly pronounced.
So it’s a great honour to host these awards to recognise and reward the talent and dedication of some of the teams and individuals who have made a real difference to the leadership and management of our most precious institutions.
