We have written many times that RGU is a diverse community of staff and students, all striving to make this what it is – a fantastic university with excellent career opportunities for those who are prepared to take them. We’ve interviewed all types of staff, but this, we think, is the first time we’ve heard from one of the most important people at the university – the men and women who keep the place clean and tidy!
