Tim is a consultant and photographer with a wealth of experience leading and managing technical services in the creative arts, as well as being author of the upcoming book ‘Technical Teaching in Higher Education: Insights from the Creative Arts’, releasing on 1 July 2026.

    In this series, hosts Lee Murphy from the University of Edinburgh, and Charli Corcoran from the University of Stirling, meet technicians from across Scotland who are driving sustainability in their institutions.  In the third episode, we ask our guests if the work that technicians are doing in their institute is visible (and visibly done by technicians) and what recognition they are given for the work they are doing - which, remember, is often not part of their job descriptions.
