Selco donates materials to Bournemouth college students and apprentices
Posted: Thursday, June 22nd, 2023
The Birmingham-based builders’ merchant has supplied a vast range of building materials to Bournemouth & Poole College, which has more than 1,000 students and apprentices on its construction and building services courses. Additionally, the team from the Poole branch, based on Fleets Corner Business Park on Waterloo Road in Poole, also sponsored the Most Improved Student accolade at the recent Construction Skills Awards held by the college. The award was won by Max Williams, a 17-year-old from Bournemouth who is currently working towards a Level 1 Diploma in Carpentry & Joinery. Des Rands, director of Learning for Construction Skills, Building Services and Built Environment at Bournemouth & Poole College said: “We have a very comprehensive and popular trade and construction offering and it’s vital that we have strong relationships with local building materials suppliers such as Selco. “They have been fantastic in their support in providing us with materials which are crucial for our day-to-day work with the students and developing their skills in a variety of different trades. “In addition, their support for our awards event was superb and another example of the close relationship we have built and are looking to continue.” Amongst the courses offered at the college are bricklaying, plumbing, plastering, electrical, wood occupation, gas renewal certification, and the HNC in the built environment.
