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.”
Matthew will report into Director of Communications, Marketing and Student Recruitment, Claire Brown.
Claire commented: “I am delighted that we have been able to attract such a talented professional to join our University and provide advice and support to our University’s Senior Leadership Team.
“We will all benefit from Matthew’s experience and expertise and I look forward to welcoming him on 1 July.”
Everyone at Dixon Walter would like to take this opportunity to wish Matthew every success in his new role!
