From education to employment

College Marketing Network’s FE First Awards 2017 announced….

The College Marketing Network’s 2017 FE First Awards for marketing excellence were made on Monday 27th November as part of our 30th Annual Conference.

We had a great range of entries this year with many categories being hotly contested: judges described the standard as being higher than ever overall. So it is a credit to the winning colleges that they came out on top. And we had an unprecedented achievement by West London College who entered and won eight awards!

At the same time, we had a number of entries from colleges who had never entered before who stormed straight to the top of their categories, including Boston, Sheffield and West Kent Colleges.

A great evening was led by Dr Lynne Sedgemore CBE who presented the awards and treated us all to her reflections on her years in FE and her involvement in college marketing and the Network since its inception. Congratulations to all our winners, thanks to everyone who entered, and also to our judges and sponsors for their time and comitment to the awards in 2017. Our winners were:
