Our story
From the Activities Office to 100 trips a year
UniLife started in Nottingham in 2018. Before it was a business, I was on a hall committee, then ran Nottingham's Freshers Week, then got elected Activities Officer at the University of Nottingham Students' Union.
In that job I watched committees try to run trips on top of a degree. The destination was rarely the hard part. The hard part was one or two students chasing forty people for deposits, running the money through a society account and signing contracts with suppliers, often without realising how much responsibility they'd taken on.
So we built UniLife around taking that off them. We're the tour operator, every traveller books and pays us directly, and the committee gets to go on the trip they organised rather than run it.
