SELCO donates materials worth ‘thousands’ to college students
Posted: Monday, July 1st, 2024
The builders’ merchant has supplied building materials to college students carrying out trade and construction courses nationwide. Amongst the beneficiaries are the students of Exeter College, who have also been invited to its Exeter branch, based on Filmer Way in Marsh Barton, to learn more about how a builders' merchant operates and its relationship with tradespeople. West London College, Leeds College of Building, Bournemouth and Poole College and Birmingham Metropolitan College are amongst the education establishments it has partnered with on the scheme. As part of the studies, each college has also received £3,000 worth of materials to use in the classroom. Andrew Legge, a construction tutor at Exeter College, said: “The Selco partnership is proving to be a fantastic initiative and an invaluable experience for our learners. “A builders' merchant plays such a significant role in the life of a tradesperson, so introducing our learners to them so early in their careers will put them in good stead. “The materials and tools that Selco has kindly donated have also been an incredible help. We want our learners to do as much practical work as possible, and the products and materials Selco has donated have enabled us to do that.”
