Two UK sector agencies, Jisc and the Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa), have completed their merger.

As part of the union, the Department for Education has transferred Hesa’s status as the English sector’s designated data body to Jisc, which is UK higher education’s main technology organisation.

All 171 Hesa staff are now joining Jisc as a new data collection and statistics directorate headed by Hesa chief executive Rob Philpotts, who is taking a seat on Jisc’s executive leadership team.
