A huge thank you to BAM UK & Ireland for providing valuable insights into the construction industry and the exciting opportunities they offer! It was a pleasure to have Euan Jackson share BAM’s vision and upcoming projects with us. Our students were particularly intrigued to learn about BAM UK & Ireland involvement in rebuilding the Luton Airport Car Park. They were thrilled with the opportunities BAM UK & Ireland is offering, including work experience, apprenticeships, and on-site visits. These experiences will give our students a firsthand look at the logistics and planning involved in such a significant project. Thank you, BAM UK & Ireland, for supporting our students and helping to shape their future careers!

A behind the scenes tour at Wembley Stadium ⚽ Our Food Academy students recently took a behind the scenes tour at Wembley Stadium. Students were shown all kitchens and restaurants in the stadium, from the Royal Box Suite to the concourse kitchens. They were taken through the logistics of how each kitchen works and received advice from the professional chefs. Harry Lomas MBE BEM FIH gave valuable careers advice to our students, including offering a range of jobs available at Wembley Stadium. A huge thank you to Harry Lomas MBE BEM FIH, Gerrard Madden MCGB and all chefs at Delaware North UK for this amazing opportunity!

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve recently been shortlisted for two awards, The individual achievement award The equality, diversity and inclusion award. Having the great pleasure of attending the awards ceremony on Friday and winning The individual achievement award, while coming highly commended for the The equality, diversity and inclusion award had already made my night, but it seems there were other plans in motion. To my and everyone's surprise, there was yet an another award to be handed out at the end of the night the Winner of winners award, and it was non other then my name I hear called up to stage. Just being nominated for these awards is an incredible honor but to even win amongst a hall of highly ambitious and successful changemakers is truly a humbling experience. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the organisers, Community Interest Luton for running these awards for the last 15 years celebrating our amazing community and to everyone who contributed from all the wonderful sponsors, judges and inspirational nominees . You did an amazing job making my first Luton and Bedfordshire community awards a truly memorable experience. A huge thank you to my amazing mentors, friends and family who continually push me to be my best and believe in me even when I don't. Without your encouragement and support I wouldn't be where I am today. Mostaque Koyes MBE Aimee Clarke Donna Dwyer Barnfield College
