CUBO has been invaluable for my professional development; it’s opened up opportunities to learn from sector leaders and connect with experienced peers through its brilliant mentoring scheme. The benchmarking tools have been game-changing, they’ve helped refine our commercial strategies and brought fresh thinking into our campus services. It’s not just networking; it’s practical support that drives real progress and helps you grow.

The online sessions and rapid responses to arising issues on the forum means CUBO is now an essential service.
