Commenting on his appointment Matthew said: “Today more than ever, the importance of communications in developing engaged relationships and just getting things done, is well understood. As we emerge from the challenging period of the pandemic, there is a great opportunity to use that bounce-back to positively build on the communications we do well and address those areas where we need to up our game. As a Manchester graduate, the University has always had a fascination for me, and it is a real privilege to be joining the team at such an exciting and dynamic time.”
