Mike Ormand
Digital Programme Enablement Manager
“Maik Or-mund” he/him
Mike is responsible for the maintenance and continuous development of our digital channels, including maintaining our website, online forms, and internal intranet pages. He also provides digital support for our marketing and is responsible for creating the quarterly newsletter.
He is passionate about diversity and inclusion, and with this in mind has worked to make our programmes more accessible and inclusive, such as our bursaries. He also started an LGBTQ+ support network at City & Guilds, which has been running since 2020.
He lives in Manchester with his partner and took up some new and short-lived hobbies during the pandemic, including growing vegetables on the windowsill and tie-dying old clothes, but eventually found knitting and crochet, which he still does today.
