Anthony Foster FIVE THINGS FOR A FRIDAY
1. This year the ENSA Team has had one new signing (Amanda, replacing Elayne who took retirement) and, as of today, we have had no transfers of staff to other teams this year
2. Our two 'on loan' sabbatical players leave at the end of June and more about that and their replacements once the signing window closes at the end of the month!
3 We intend to have another brand new signing in a new staff role to support Societies and their Edinburgh and Academic community work Societies and Communities Development Manager. This means we can also develop sport into season 2026/27.
4. All our players have been able to share in some advanced training session this year to make them continue in their role as world class players. From Membership Services to Marketing, BUCS to SSS, Mental Well Being to training on new systems such as Advice Pro and Approval Max. We've also been learning from other Student Unions (but not 'spying' with a camera or anything!)
5. In the league tables we've come top in Edinburgh, top in Scotland, higher in BUCs leagues and when it comes to clubs. socieites and social activities we are third place in Scotland behind well funded teams with far greater training facilities.
This team manager is very happy to celebrate the success of all our team members in 2025/26 who have been pulling in great performances day in. day out to improve the student experience at Edinburgh Napier and help students who need our support.. As long as I don't get bumped like Arnie Slot I cannot wait to see how good they can be and where their careers will take them. Enjoy your summer and your success!
