A university on the move. But why?

Winds of change are blowing through the university sector. Some are battening down the hatches and hoping for the best, others, like the University of Gloucestershire are on the move.

Dear Readers,

We hope you’ve had a great week.

On Thursday we published a big interview with Greg Pilley, a pioneer in the world of brewing organic beer and the man behind Stroud Brewery. We thought it was fascinating, although we would say that wouldn’t we?

If you have not been to the Thrupp venue we recommend it. Best approached on foot along the canal towpath of the Stroudwater Canal, from either direction. You can read that story here.

Today, in a much shorter read, we hold the University of Gloucestershire’s decision to sell one of its Cheltenham campuses up to the light to see what it might tell us.

Does it say anything about where the university is at? We think it does.

Have a great weekend.

Please send us your stories/ideas about companies/people/issues you think we should write about. Email andrew.merrell@raikesjournal.co.uk or telephone 07956 926061.
