I first met Hamish in an introductory session as part of his Library induction programme. It was the first we’d been able to do away from a computer screen for a long time, so felt a bit new to both of us I think. I was struck then by his good humour, his interest …

Hamish was always friendly, readily returning a hello or a wave whenever I passed Copy & Print on the way to my office. It was on a trip to work on the bus where I realised what a funny, thoughtful and caring person Hamish was. Walking up to the Library from the university bus …

I remember the lovely converstion I had with Hamish soon after he started in the Library and I was immediately struck by his warm, open & friendly personality and I remember thinking we were lucky to have him working with us in the library. I’m sad I wasn’t able to get to know Hamish …

My fond memory of Hamish, was when he had bought his girlfriend a present for her birthday, of her favourite animal a Capybara cudly toy. He had put it on his desk to regain it’s shape, after being vacum packed in the post, how he explained it just made us chuckle. Hamish was a …

Hamish joined the university not long after me, and after less than a week, it was as if he had always been a part of the team. He was always willing to help students with whatever problems cropped up, and frequently went out of his way to deal with some of their more unorthodox …

From his first email introducing himself (at that time, in relation to the Graduate Trainee post), Hamish was earnest, eager and enthusiastic. He took all advice on board, then wrote a blinding application for the Copy and Print vacancy, and performed an even better interview; he was the panel’s unanimous choice for the role. Once …

Hamish was a charming, warm-hearted, funny young man who just had the knack of making you feel good. He would often sit down for a chat before starting work and would leave you with a smile on your face. He will be sorely missed. …

I hadn’t been working at the library very long before Hamish joined, and from our very first conversation (which happened to be about our love of horror films and literature), I knew we would quickly become great friends. Hamish was someone you could be 100% yourself around without fear of any judgement. So often …

Hamish and I worked closely together in Copy and Print and his time with us felt so much longer than it was. I miss him a lot – his sometimes quite sarcastic humour, his love for the job, his care for the students. I am so impressed with his achievements, having just recently given …

I was very lucky to get to know Hamish as his ‘buddy’ in the workplace as he settled in. I recall him joking about the ‘gentle start’ he’d had with only one printer breaking down during his first day. He was a really warm person with a friendly demeanour and enjoyed working with his …
