Allan Gibbons – Life Membership

Allan Gibbons was, until recently, employed by The Open University as Postal Services Manager, Estates – Operations and was a well-respected member of their staff with a long and valued career at Milton Keynes. Therefore he had great demands on his time and many important projects to support the varied activities of The Open University. His commitment to our University is total. Allan remained quietly supportive of the Association of Open University Graduates and has always been happy to help members with numerous issues relating to postal services.

He has always made himself available to sort out any invoicing issues or clarifications over VAT regulations and if we were faced with requiring any advice re the best way to dispatch unusual items, he was the person we have always relied on for sound advice. We are especially grateful that he could always be relied upon to keep any photographs arriving for Award Ceremony displays, safely without risk of damage. The awarding of an Honorary Life Membership to Allan Gibbons seems a fitting way to show him all the appreciation we have for his support and guidance over the years and to extend our hand of friendship to him to remain in touch with AOUG
