We are at the stage of the Technician Commitment where we really need your help and input to assist us with the formulation of our action plan for the next three years.

It would be really helpful to us if you could share with us any thoughts, comments or suggestions in response to the questions posed on each of the focus group slides. This can be by email to the resource account Technicians@warwick.ac.uk or via the online feedback form:Focus Group Questionnaire

There are five slides: found here: Focus Group Slides

Many of our Technicians having been helping in the response to the pandemic, we wish to share the work they have been doing and give our thanks for all their efforts. A huge thanks to Neil Gillespie, Senior Civil Engineering Technician from the School of Engineering and Kevin Murphy, Chemistry Core Technician who helped with a team of colleagues from across our Estates and Science departments, to gather up key equipment and take it to the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust’s Coventry site.

Also a huge thanks to Technicians Steering Group member Robb Johnston (Technical Services Manager of the Department of Physics) who also gathered some of the PPE to take to UHCW.
