Jack Charlton Scores A College Award

Wednesday 6th July 2011

Joinery student, Jack Charlton has been presented with an esteemed award at the Chesterfield College Joinery Celebration of Achievement evening held at the College's conference centre at J29a, Markham Vale.


Jack Charlton is presented with his joinery award by Chesterfield College deputy principal, Julie Richards

Jack was presented with the award by College Deputy Principal, Julie Richards (above) not only for his excellent course achievements over the past year but also in recognition for his fantastic performance at the UK SkillBuild competition in Nottingham where he achieved 3rd place in the Bench Joinery category.

Jack says, "I'm really grateful that the College gave me the opportunity to compete and I took a lot out of the experience. I enjoyed the surprise element of not knowing what I would be making on the day and the fact we had to complete it within a certain time frame, which is much like the working world of Joinery."

Fellow Joinery student and SkillBuild competitor, Tom Bell also bagged a big award on the night, taking home Joinery Student of the Year for his outstanding work and attitude during his time at the College.

Several other awards were handed out on the night, and other big winners included Ed Carter, Tom Barker, Matthew Sherburn and Anthony Mather.

It's been a fortnight of celebrations at the College as each Directorate, from Catering to Public Services, recognises the amazing achievements and hard work of their students.
