FE sector recognised in Queen's Birthday Honours
College principals, staff and governors have been recognised in this year's Queen's Birthday Honours.
David Hughes, Chief Executive of the Association of Colleges, said: “The hard work and dedication of a number of college principals, governors and staff has once again been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours I congratulate them on this occasion. This includes Paul Phillips, from Weston College and Nigel Leigh from Stephenson College, who are both AoC Board members
“All college staff work tirelessly to provide high-quality education and training for their students and they deserve recognition for their efforts.
“I am particularly pleased to see AoC’s former Deputy Chief Executive Gill Clipson has been honoured for her services to education with an MBE. Gill has been a champion of the sector for many years. She thoroughly deserves this recognition.”
