The Press Office monitors these voicemails regularly to ensure timely responses. Common reasons for calling include requesting interviews, obtaining press releases, and verifying information. While typical wait times are not specified, leaving a detailed voicemail can facilitate a quicker follow-up. For urgent matters, emailing press@leicester.ac.uk is also recommended.

Known issues
Occasionally, calls made outside office hours are directed to voicemail, which can delay responses. To mitigate this, ensure you leave a detailed message including your name, organization, contact details, and the nature of your enquiry. This information helps the Press Office prioritize and respond efficiently. If an immediate response is required, consider sending an email to press@leicester.ac.uk with the same details. This dual approach can help ensure your enquiry is addressed promptly.
