Congratulations to ALL of our winners and nominees of the 2011 Careers Awards Evening!
It was a lovely evening and everyone who came had a brilliant time. Edge FWD, our very own all male dance troupe and winners of their own award, performed an ‘Apprentice’ inspired piece to kick the evening off.
We saw Luke Coombes bag 1st prize On Campus Employee of the Year with Luke Chapman coming in a very tight 2nd place and Gina Daneliuk securing 3rd place.
All the photos of the evening can be found on the Job Club page on Facebook. If you haven’t joined us already, do so at
