Robin Thurston is a Senior Policy Advisor, University Technical Colleges at Department for Education at Department for Education. They possess expertise in public policy, stakeholder engagement, international development, government, policy analysis and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe them as "Over an 18 month period Robin was the continuity for a group of accounts as he saw three managers join and leave his partnership in quick succession. Working with him to ensure we maintained a quality service to the government departments we supported and to the companies we managed I was impressed by his staying power. Not phased by pressure he showed grit and determination and pressed on putting in the extra hours he felt were needed. Gaps during recruitment also meant Robin had to step up and engage with senior leaders, which he did verbally and through formal letters and email. Thanks Robin, it was always a pleasure to work with you."
