The University of Manchester

If you know someone in the Professional Support Services (PSS), Museum, Gallery or at the Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre who is always willing to put in that bit extra to get a job done, always provides an excellent service or goes out of their way to help someone or solve a problem, why not put them forward for a President’s Distinguished Achievement Award so that they know they are appreciated?

As well as individuals, we’re also looking for teams based in the PSS, Museum, Gallery or Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre.

If you would like to make a nomination we will need a statement from you explaining how the person or team:

  • is a team player/are team players
  • is always willing to do that bit extra to help staff, students or visitors
  • is flexible and respectful at all times

The criteria used by the judges to assess the case have been designed to reflect the PSS behaviours.  For more information about the PSS behaviours, visit:
