WE'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP FOR COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONALS IN STUDENTS' UNIONS.

The group has been set up to enable networking across commercial spaces in students' unions, to share ideas and innovations, and to connect with others in similar roles. The Trading Support team will also use the group to highlight important information we don't want you to miss out on.

Before you join...

Keep the conversation flowing – and focussed!

We love seeing the engagement on the Commercial WhatsApp group – it’s a testament to the energy and collaboration across our commercial operations. However, the informal nature of the platform means the Trading Support team sometimes miss important questions.

To help keep the group effective and inclusive, we’re sharing a few simple guidelines. These will ensure the space remains what it’s meant to be: a hub for sharing ideas, best practices, and quick wins.

• Keep the tone positive and respectful
• Make sure messages align with NUS values and policies 
• Never share pricing or sensitive information
• Email trading@nus.org.uk if you have a question for the Trading Support team.  We cannot guarantee a response if your question is posted on this group but will endeavour to respond if the question relates to more than one SU
• Allow 48 hours for the Trading Support team to respond to queries sent to trading@nus.org.uk. The team will respond during normal office working hours (Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm).

We really appreciate your support in following these principles – it helps us all get the most out of the conversation and track and respond to questions.

Other than that...keep the conversation flowing!
