What people say about us...

“All members of the technical staff are absolute gems to work with... they work incredibly hard to provide an overall excellent service and are always approachable and helpful. It is a pleasure to work with them”

“Technical support for my practical classes this term has been excellent: seamless, independent, professional. If there is anything we can do to improve team working between technical and academic staff, let us know too!”

“Superb-as always! Especially impressed by and appreciative of colleagues who stepped in at the last minute to sub for a demonstrator who was unable to help out in a very busy class. Their enthusiasm and skill in taking on this role was magnificent!”
