I wanted to send one final message to the University Executive Group & the Vice Chancellor Prof Sasha Roseneil. As I crossed the stage at my graduation, I wore a sign saying ‘MITIE OFF CAMPUS’. The @MitieMustFall fight will continue until MITIE IS OFF CAMPUS.

"It’s pretty much certain that most people in the UK will shop at, or use services that help keep Mitie’s profit margins up." In 2022, Mitie’s record revenue of £4 billion created an operating profit of £167m. Read our profile here: corporatewatch.org/mitie-com…

**BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING SOON** You may notice we've been pretty quiet on Twitter recently - we've been busy doing lots of work behind the scenes, but some big announcements will be coming soon...

Today we went to the #Mitie office in Manchester to hand a letter to @PhilBentleyCEO about Mities involvement in #Manston, and wider profiteering from the suffering of migrants. @SussexUni are you still content in your SEF partnership with @mitie? 🤨🧐 @MitieMustFall

The camp is highly securitised and isolated - surrounded by fences, police and security personnel. Mitie - known for managing violent detention centres - runs the camp, while other companies such as MCT - known for brutalising children in youth jails - provide security.

Dozens of young children are being held at Manston detention camp in Kent. Mothers, fathers, children and babies from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere. We went today and heard them chanting for their freedom. This is persecution. FREE THEM AND CLOSE IT DOWN.

This is great, and hopefully the first of many. Universities can, and must, divest our money from the border industry, and stop financing these terrible companies.

The day of action at #SussexUni today was all about raising awareness of @Mitie as a company and the shameful partnership between Mitie and @SussexUni. It was hugely successful. We had lots of great conversations and a lot of support was received. #WorkersInMitieOut!
