About us

The Campus Services department was created in August 2022 by combining all the facilities teams across the University into one department to support our University strategy, where strong campus services are essential to underpin excellence in education, research and experience for students, staff, visitors and commercial customers alike.  

With over 400 staff Campus Services consists of a diverse range of teams including student living, hospitality, retail, cleaning and portering, security, postal services and landscaping.

Since last August we have continued to develop the services we provide in response to the changing needs of the University.  A key part of delivering this customer experience is having a team which is engaged and supported in delivering our services.
