THE Awards 2015
Now in their 11th year, the THE Awards continue to go from strength to strength, with more entries across the 18 categories for 2015 than in any previous year.
The result is a set of short that truly showcase the brightest sparks of creativity and commitment, and it is hugely rewarding to see institutions represented from the length and breadth of the land.
All who work in out universities know what complex organisations they are, and the part played by every individual and every team, whether academic or administrative in their success. It is those individuals and teams that we're celebration tonight - many congratulations to all of you.
