That’s why we were honoured to be involved in West Nottinghamshire College’s recent Celebrating Student Achievement Awards, recognising and rewarding the dedication of students who have gone above and beyond in their studies and personal development.

Held at the college’s Derby Road campus, the event brought together students, families, teaching staff and local employers to celebrate the hard work and progress of learners from a wide range of academic and vocational programmes.

It was an evening filled with pride, positivity, and potential, a reminder of how important it is to recognise and champion young people as they prepare for their future careers.

Backing the Talent of Tomorrow

Vaughandale was pleased to donate a prize for one of the Special Awards at the event, a small but meaningful gesture that reflects our ongoing commitment to education, skills development, and the construction industry’s future workforce.

As a business that works closely with West Nottinghamshire College, particularly through our apprenticeships and training programmes, we were proud to support the college’s efforts to spotlight outstanding learners.

“We believe in giving back to the communities that support us, and it’s a privilege to celebrate the success of young people working hard to shape their futures. Supporting events like this is one of the many ways we continue to invest in the next generation.”
 — Nicola Williams, Director at Vaughandale

A Lasting Relationship with West Notts College

Our relationship with West Notts College continues to play a key role in shaping the careers of our team, including trades such as Bricklaying, Joinery, Plastering, Site Management and L2 Property Maintenance and beyond. We’ve seen firsthand how the right support and guidance at this early stage can make a lasting difference.

Events like the Celebrating Student Achievement Awards help shine a light on the positive impact of vocational education and remind us of the importance of creating opportunities for young people to succeed.

We’d like to extend our congratulations to all of the award winners and nominees. The commitment, resilience, and attitude shown by each of them make us so hopeful for the future of the construction industry and the wider workforce.
