Not the Oscars, but an Award is an Award

Posted on March 10, 2018 by

So on Wednesday it was the College Awards and although Construction is often overlooked they decided that the Carpentry team was the best team in College.

OK, I was surprised, but actually quite ‘chuffed’ as we say in Yorkshire. The big plus factor was my Level 1 Student receiving Most Improved and my Apprentice receiving Best Apprentice of the year. So, all in all an excellent night. Next week it’ll be back to the usual dribble 😜

    Congratulations! It is quite the honor to be the best team, everyone pulling together and doing an excellent job. It is a team effort to see the most improved Level 1 student and your apprentice getting the apprentice of the year! Congratulations to the whole team! Yes it is remarkable! 🙂

    Well done, that’s a good all-round result. It’s good to make a difference to young people, as the benefits will still be seen long after you’re gone… (Apologies for the thought of mortality – it’s that sort of morning. :-))
