Agnes Flues

9 August 2024

It is with great sadness we have to report the unexpected passing of Agnes Flues on 5 August.

For many years, Agnes had been involved in UCU undertaking various officer posts at the University of Nottingham, working regionally on the East Midlands Executive and more recently as an NEC member.

Passionate about fairness, doing the right thing and treating people with dignity, Agnes was a bedrock of her ethos.

Agnes helped so many people and would always remember every single individual and would keep in touch whenever she could to check how people were doing - championing them to succeed and thrive in their lives.

This is a deeply sad loss to the movement. Agnes will be forever missed and we will honour her legacy and will continue to be inspired by her in all that we do.

Our heartfelt condolences are with Agnes' family and friends at this time.

If you wish to pass on your condolences, the Regional Office (eastmidlands@ucu.org.uk) will ensure they are passed on. Please feel free to share this information with anyone else you know who may have worked closely with Agnes.
