Outstanding Value for Money

The Outstanding Value for Money Award award recognises individuals and teams who have achieved outstanding value for money by creating efficiencies that can be emulated across the University, leading to either substantial savings or to an enhanced service.

In addition he recommended to his manager the removal of a redundant software product which has resulted in a further annual saving to the University of £70,000 per year.
