Hard-working students from Easton and Otley College were recognised at its annual apprenticeship awards last week.
The second annual occasion was held at Bressingham Hall on Wednesday, where 22 awards were handed to dedicated students and firms which supported them.
Among those to have been given an award were Hayley Underdown, Billy Newton, Emily Heaslip, Nicola Cox, Rosemary Thorrington, Sally Phillipson and Craig Thompson, while Ipswich Buses, Haverhill Community Sports Association and Blue Cross were also honoured.
Head of employer engagement Louise Wicks said: “This event was set up to shine a light on some of the amazing businesses and individuals that we support via apprenticeships.
“Apprenticeships don’t always get the recognition they deserve in comparison with other qualifications such as A-levels, therefore we are happy to champion their importance.”
