Robert took up his post earlier this week, having worked for the past 17 years with the John Lewis Partnership. He is a graduate of the University of St Andrews.

He said, “I am very excited to have joined the University and to be forming a new team in Commercial Services, one that already delivers to staff, students and the public across a wide range of areas. Looking ahead, the campus development provides an amazing opportunity to stretch ourselves and deliver even more with outstanding service at the heart. I’m really keen to hear from staff and students alike, both within my own team, and from elsewhere in the University, so I look forward to meeting some of you in the coming weeks.”

Ann Allen, Executive Director of Estates and Commercial Services, said: “I am very pleased to welcome Robert who has joined us from John Lewis where he was Head of Branch at the John Lewis store in Aberdeen. Robert joins at such an exciting time for the University with the campus development now under construction. He brings with him an in-depth understanding of how exceptional customer service can also drive forward improved service delivery and will apply that knowledge to delivering great service for students and staff on both our existing campus and our new developments.”
