The CCLG Data Centre

The central Office of the Group moved to Leicester University from Manchester in 1988. In 1994 the title of the Central Office was changed to CCLG Data Centre, to reflect more accurately the complexity of the work. In December 2000, having outgrown the University accommodation, the Data Centre moved to its new expanded commercial premises. These are providing the facilities, particularly a range of meeting rooms, needed by the CCLG to function fully as a national group. The number of staff employed in the Data Centre has increased over the years to a total of 28 (20 full-time and 8 part-time).

All the activities of the Group are coordinated within the Leicester Data Centre. The work of the Data Centre and its staff are managed by the Executive Director.

In 2003, the Data Centre became one of just six Trials Units accredited through the National Cancer Research Institute.
