When asked what he could bring to the role, he said: ‘Having been an undergraduate and postgraduate at Exeter, I have a good understanding of the issues that students encounter.

This position offers a terrific opportunity to enhance my skills and experience, while making a real difference to thousands of students.
Speaking about the changes he would like to implement during his year in office, he said: ‘I hope to make changes that will place the student at the heart of learning; offering more choice, enhanced contact and strong academic support. With the new fees structure coming into place in September 2012, I hope to ensure that the University and Guild work together to ensure that students get the best results from any increase in revenue.’
