Welcome from Group Chair:
Welcome to HELOA London!
The group prides itself in the commitment and hard work given by its members in promoting the work of the organisation promoting Higher Education. 2011/2012 is a time of transition and uncertainty and as an association we need to accommodate this shift. The importance of consistent and timely IAG amongst the sector is ever increasing and I feel as a region we are well placed to offer consistency when the sector is being fuelled with speculation. Our strength as a group is our diversity. From single campus facilities to sprawling multi campus layouts, teams of two to teams of twenty we cover nearly all the schools and FE colleges in London and the surrounding area.
For any further information regarding HELOA London please feel free to contact any of the HELOA committee, we would be delighted to hear from you!
