► National Recognition

March 2008 - Students' Union licensed trade recognised as the best in the North East

Teesside University Students’ Union is celebrating after a national scheme recognised the outstanding facilities and standards in our licensed trade department. Teesside overcame strong competition from Students’ Unions across the north east and Yorkshire to collect the Best Bar None award for the North East. The award, which was developed by Greater Manchester Police and is supported by the National Union of Students Services Limited (NUSSL), particularly recognises venues with responsible licensing practices, high standards of staff training and continuous improvement to facilities for their customers.

Judges were impressed with the rigorous training student and permanent staff working behind the bar and supervising our two venues receive. The improvements to facilities was also noted, particularly the development of The Hub which was developed last summer with extensive financial support from the University. It provides an alternative to our hugely popular Terrace Bar for students to relax and socialise through the day then enjoy club nights and other entertainment on evenings.

Stephen Dowson, President of the Students’ Union said: “I’m absolutely delighted with this recognition; it’s a fantastic vindication of the changes we have made with the help of the University to our facilities for students. It’s also a much deserved complement for all of the permanent and student staff who work so hard year round to ensure students can relax and socialise in safe, responsibly run venues.”

The Students’ Union adds this success to a proud recent history which has included runners up position in the Club Mirror awards late last year plus the coveted title of Students’ Union of the Year in 2002 and 2004.

April 2006 - Best Bar None recognises licensed trade department

The award winning Students’ Union added the prestigious Best Bar None status to our long list of achievements in April 2006. Best Bar None recognises responsible licensed premises where customer service, safety and staff training are paramount. It’s a big honour that only a select group of Students’ Unions have currently been accredited with.

December 2004

Almost a Club Mirror double whammy

The Students' Union was delighted in 2004 to be shortlisted for two Club Mirror Magazine awards - Students' Union of the Year Award and Sport and Fitness Club of the Year Award. Although the Students' Union missed out on scoring a double (awarded the Students' Union of the Year Award in 2002) it was a great achievement to be amongst the eight nominees vying for the two awards in December.

Club Mirror Magazine is dedicated to and reports on the promotions and entertainment programmes of membership organisations as well as general trends in the industry. It also looks closely at how these organisations cater for their members' needs. The nominations are a reflection of the team effort and hard work of all staff and volunteers over the past year.
