Wednesday, 10 April 2019
Matt White, the director of Campus Commerce, was recently honoured as the Non-Executive Director of the year by The Institute of Directors North East and Isle of Man branch. This was in recognition of Matt’s national role with The University Caterers Organisation (TUCO).
TUCO is a membership organisation for in-house caterers and hospitality providers in further and higher education. Matt is a non-executive director of the TUCO Board and has been the company Chairman for the past three years. This is a voluntary and supplementary role that he performs alongside his role at Reading of Director of Campus Commerce. We caught up with Matt, who said: “It is a great honour to represent The University of Reading in this national arena and to be recognised by such a prestigious body as the IOD is very humbling indeed.”
Matt has also been shortlisted for a Catey award, which is the hospitality world's equivalent to an Oscar. This is in recognition for his work at the University and as TUCO Chair.
