Samantha Budd, the Bristol University Students’ Union (UBU) chief executive, said: “It was a real privilege to receive our award at the Houses of Parliament. The significance of democracy as a core value for UBU made the venue really special and it also reflects the reputation that SUEI has gained as a means of measuring the quality of a good Students' Union.”
