Portering services

Providing attendance cover in buildings when open, in some instances to 10pm, porters are able to provide a wide range of support services in all buildings on campus. Some of our standard tasks are:

• unlock and lock buildings, at the start and end of the day, unless a building has a full access control system. Each centrally booked room is checked according to strict guidelines.
• receive and deliver post to selected points in buildings. We also offeradditional postal services.
• move or removal of furniture. For more information please check additional services.
• collect waste and regularly patrol perimeters of buildings, ensuring that there is no build up of rubbish. A special waste collection service is also available.
• provide basic support for AV technology in classrooms and may often be able to resolve problems more speedily in the event that an AV technician is unable to get to the site.
•  provide an additional level of safety for staff by inspecting buildings on a regular basis and ensure prompt action where appropriate.
• provide a high level of customer care especially for business conferences, to ensure that delegates for conferences are assured of the best possible professional support during their stay at the University.

In addition to this we would be more than happy to assist in other areas, please contact us to discuss requirements.
