Bath

I’m currently City Manager for our properties in Bath and Bristol, but before that I was City Manager for Manchester, and then Regional Service and Sales Manager for all cities between Aberdeen and Coventry. I was originally approached by a recruitment agency regarding the role, and when I looked into it, I was completely sold on the company! I grew up with higher education being a prominent part of family life, so the opportunity to work so closely with the sector was a real draw for me. There’s no more diverse and interesting a group of people than students! The excitement of helping them through such a crucial part of their life and seeing them continue to grow and succeed is truly fantastic.

There’s never a boring day with students around! And the environment is great – people are incredibly friendly and welcoming and anyone can talk to anyone. All departments really care about delivering the best service to our students, and that common goal means we continually strive to improve. Nothing stands still either, the pace is fast and we’re constantly evolving to stay ahead of the pack.

The company provide some really nice extras that are the icing on the cake in terms of benefits, and it really does feel like you’re cared about and not just another number. The culture is key, but that’s created by the people within the business and starts from the top down.
