Five Wessex colleges work together to share back-office services, including: finance, HR, exams, recruitment, student records and procurement. In these case studies, Robin Gadd speaks about: starting out, involving governors, competition between partners, communication strategy, legal structure, staffing and TUPE, and the lessons he and his colleagues have learned.
