Andrew Crowter, Director of Estates and Capital Development, Aston University
Andrew leads the strategic development of Aston University’s estate, aligning capital investment, campus planning and service delivery with Aston 2030 and its ambitions for education, research and innovation.
He brings more than 35 years’ experience, including 18 years in the construction industry, followed by estates leadership roles in further and higher education. His approach combines long-term planning with practical delivery, strong governance and financial discipline.
Since joining Aston in September 2025, Andrew has been shaping an estate investment programme of approximately £100m over two years. Priorities include the development of 10 Woodcock Street, better use of campus space, delivery of the Salix-funded energy centre and Aston’s contribution to Birmingham Knowledge Quarter through Innovation Place.
Andrew will provide an update on the University's masterplan and upcoming developments.
NOTE: In support of our charity of the year, Acorn Children's Hospice, we will be supporting ‘Acorns Jolly Jumper Day’. The Hospice will judge and select the ‘Jolliest Jumper’ at the breakfast and present the winner with a bottle of champagne. All attendees are invited to take part.
