Nicola Dandridge

Nicola Dandridge is the longstanding CEO of Universities UK having been in post for over six years. She forms a key link between policy makers and university leaders and is frequently called to represent the sector to senior civil servants, politicians, think tanks, business groups and more. Vice chancellors frequently depend on her advice and support, which she gives in abundance and her extremely high-standing in the sector is testament to her skill, as she has shepherded UUK through a turbulent external landscape and come away from the experience – almost – unscathed.
