14 Motivation I will be retiring from my post as Head of Residences at Bangor after 21 years. Over that time the CUBO conferences and message boards have been invaluable as well as a great experience. Many thanks to all those who I have met along the way. I enjoyed countless discussions and the company. It is a great organisation which is a fantastic asset and source of information and networking for us all. The next few years for the industry will be challenging and CUBO will be a crucial vehicle in moving forward. Ken Griffith, Bangor University.
