Over 1,400 support colleagues celebrated in the sunshine at Imperial's annual summer party for support staff.

Last Tuesday's event on the South Kensington Campus's Queen's Lawn brought together staff from the College's support services divisions, as well as colleagues in support services roles in faculties and departments.

This year’s party was circus-themed, with a giant helter skelter, baton twirlers and a magician, alongside food, drink and karaoke.

The event was organised by the Support Services Social Committee, led by Suzanne Christopher, Senior HR Manager (Staff Engagement). Suzanne said: “It was wonderful to see so many people there – it’s a great chance to catch up with colleagues and celebrate everyone’s hard work over the course of the year."
