Three outstanding teams shortlisted for Times Higher awards
Friday 8 April 2016
THE University of Salford’s ‘backroom staff’ have been recognised for their outstanding work by the Times Higher Education (THE).
The University is shortlisted for three 2016 Leadership and Management Awards (THELMAs) for its work in business administration, finance and campus management.
Salford Business School’s Departmental Administration Team and the University’s Estates and Finance Teams were all shortlisted for the prestigious awards, which celebrate best practice in higher education leadership and management.
Judges shortlisted the teams for their vital contributions to university life in Salford for students and colleagues which include, among many others:
- · Salford Business School Professional Services Team – shortlisted for Departmental Team of the year for the administration of the six intake/six-week block delivery for 21 taught postgraduate programmes.
- · Estates and Property Services – shortlisted for Estates Team of the Year – for the physical, organisational and reputational transformation of the University – including the build of the £81m student village and the £55million New Adelphi; annual carbon savings of 8 per cent (nearly 1,000 tonnes); and new campus-wide catering.
- · Finance Department – shortlisted for Finance Team of the Year – for a new model allowing Schools clarity of their financial deliverables over a three-year horizon, and greater financial autonomy, which has driven investment in a new £5m ‘Megalab’ - and a £15m Engineering showcase project.
Vikki Goddard, Chief Operating Officer, said: “With three teams shortlisted in the prestigious THELMAs, we’re showing that Salford can lead the way with quality, innovation and leadership behind the scenes; supporting all our colleagues and helping to make sure our students have the best university experience possible.”
The awards will be made at a special dinner and ceremony on Thursday 23 June at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Good luck to all our outstanding colleagues!
