Students on business and accounting courses at West Nottinghamshire College were applauded by their teachers, classmates, parents and principal and chief executive Andrew Cropley at their annual awards evening.

Almost 50 guests, including learners, staff and proud family members, came together for a night of celebration of the students’ hard work and dedication to their studies.

Held in the college’s Refined restaurant at the Derby Road campus, Mansfield, the event was organised entirely by level 3 business students Ava Walker, Chandler Measures, Josh Mitchell and Ellie Porter as part of the ‘managing an event’ module of their course.

There were 13 student winners on the night across a range of categories including most employable student, hardest worker, best student representative, best team player and best attendance.
