Upon receiving this national recognition, Ian, Pat and Rachel had the following to say:
Ian: “This reinforces our Group as being a national leader in our sector. I am proud to see Pat and Rachel take up these important positions of influence within the world of Further Education”.
Pat: “This is great personal honour and recognition of what the Group has done to create a powerful voice for FE and the people we serve.”
Rachel: “I am looking forward to working with other professionals and boards across FE to develop appropriate governance for the delivery of their own college strategies. Ongoing support and respect for governance from the senior leadership team and volunteer board members at TBCG has been a key enabler for me in taking on the NLG role.”
Visits Shuttleworth College
In May, Shuttleworth College hosted the East of England Agricultural Society’s Annual Lecture. In attendance as a guest speaker was former Shuttleworth College student Mark Spencer, the now Minister of State for Food, Farming and Fisheries.
Before speaking at the Lecture, he met with students and farmers from across the region and took the time to revisit his old accommodation at the campus.
Mark also spoke with Dr Catherine Lloyd, Vice Principal at Shuttleworth College and learned about the £2 Million investment in Kingshill Farm.
This investment will support curriculum change to deliver T Levels in Agriculture, Animal Care and Environmental. With partial funding from Government T Level grants the money will provide high-quality teaching accommodation and fit-forpurpose facilities.
This investment will enable the college to effectively utilise new and emerging technologies as well as provide workshop and classroom space for the effective delivery of T Level qualifications.
