THE Awards 2022 was held on the 17th November and as always was a fantastic night of celebration recognising excellence across the entire spectrum of HE. This year it was hosted by the brilliant Stephen Mangan. The quality of the shortlisted nominations in all of the categories was outstanding. The Technician Commitment had again sponsored the Outstanding Technician of the Year award, ensuring the contribution made by technicians was also recognised in the same space as other contributions and initiatives in the sector The candidates in the Outstanding Technician of the Year category were all brilliant of course, and together they demonstrated the diversity of the technician role in HE.
“Huge congratulations to Hong Lin from the University of Reading, who was this year’s winner, well deserved indeed. Also a big well done to all the technicians shortlisted too, you are all outstanding.”
