• Marketing & Communications
• Procurement (see Finance chart)

An Estates Organogram is attached as well as an organisation chart for
KUSCO (Kingston University Services Company Limited). KUSCO provides the
Facilities management services and contract management services to the
University.
KUSCO is a specialist service and facilities management company. It is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Kingston University (KU), and has been
providing the University community with a wide range of services and
support since 1997. KUSCO works for no other organisations.
• IT

The University Planning Office organisational chart is attached.
We maintain that the disclosure of contact names (other than those of the
Senior Management Team) would contravene the first data principle of the
Data Protection Act, and we are therefore invoking the exemption at s. 40
of the Freedom of Information Act in that the data requested constitutes
personal data.
This completes the University’s response to your information request. If
you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
request and wish to make a complaint or request an internal review of our
decision please contact:
Director of the Vice-Chancellor’s Advisory and Support Department, email :
[1][email address] or by post: Kingston University,
River House, 53-57 High Street, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 1LQ.
In the event that you are not content with the outcome of your complaint
you may then apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner cannot make a decision
unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by Kingston
University. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: The
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
I hope that you now have the information you require.
Regards,
Lyn
