Director of Estates, Facilities & Commercial Services, Lancaster University
MRG were approached by Lancaster University to support the recruitment campaign leading to the appointment of the key leadership post of Director of Estates, Facilities & Commercial Services in early 2018.
This is undoubtedly one of the leading roles of its kind in the UK HE sector with the opportunity to drive forward ambitious future masterplanning and estates strategy development (including development plans with public and private sector JV partners), deliver an existing 5-year £250m capital programme and lead a highly-motivated team providing acclaimed facilities management, residential, recreational and commercial services across a leading UK University (The Times University of the Year 2018). The brief was to secure the interest of industry-leading candidates from within the HE sector that had the experience and gravitas to lead such a broad portfolio. To supplement the primary search area and offer further choice the selection panel were also keen to seek alternative options from outside the sector particularly from large, complex public and private sector organisations with diverse estates portfolios with similar characteristics to those found at Lancaster.
Over 200 candidates were approached on a headhunt basis and the role was advertised widely in relevant online industry media.
The appointed candidate is a leading professional in the HE Estates and Commercial Services sector having been Director of Infrastructure and Commercial Services and Deputy Chief Operating Officer at Loughborough University over the last decade.
