Holly Duglan is a Registrar and Secretary who had a leading role in managing the market exit of Writtle University College and its merger with Anglia Ruskin University in February 2024.
In this episode, Holly talks about what led to the decision to exit the market as an autonomous institution, the 'red lines' determined by the Board of Governors to secure the future of its specialist provision and the role she took as Registrar and Secretary in navigating the process. She also reflects upon managing the market exit and merger alongside 'the day job', the pivotal role of legal advice and the more emotional aspects of a merger for staff and students.
