Following 14 years as University of Exeter Director of Sport, Phil Attwell has been promoted to the position of Director of Campus Services.  Phil has overseen significant growth in the University’s sporting estate since he took up the position in 1999, including the development of world class facilities for hockey, rugby, tennis and cricket, as well as market leading health and fitness facilities.

Commenting on his new role Phil said: “It’s an exciting time to be taking up this position, in a year when the University is investing a record £50 million in capital projects. The Campus Services team are one of the largest departments in the University and are integral to the day-to-day smooth running of our campuses. They also make a huge contribution to our outstanding student satisfaction scores and to our goal of being recognised as a global top 100 institution.”
