We’re looking to revamp our University merchandise offering, and need your input to tell us what you would like to see from the range.
What you will be doing
You will attend an in-person focus group (up to 90 minutes) that will take place on our Stag Hill campus. Focus groups will take place in late October / early November, and we will find a date and time that suits the most students registering their interest.
In the focus groups, we will be sharing new product ideas and capturing your feedback to help us decide what makes the cut.
As a thank you for taking part, you will earn a £20 voucher to spend in our University catering outlets (excluding The Sir Ronald Wates) or to buy merchandise from our current range in Hillside Coffee.
