Students Scoop Plumbing Awards!

Two high-achieving plumbing students at Burnley College were feeling on ‘tap’ of the world … thanks James Hargreaves Plumbing Supplies!

Zoe Heslop and Saffron Williams received awards and prizes up to the value of £500 as part of the James Hargreaves Student Awards 2023.

Zoe, 30, who lives in Lumb (Rossendale), claimed ‘Best Advanced’ (plumbing and domestic heating technician apprentice level 3), while Todmorden-based Saffron, 17, claimed ‘Pre-Advanced’ (plumbing diploma level 1).

James Hargreaves joined forces with the College last year to help students and Themis Apprentices learn best practice on their chosen career paths. The partnership has also seen the opening of the James Hargreaves “Centre of Plumbing Excellence”

Gary Beaumont, Sales Director at James Hargreaves Plumbing Supplies said: “Burnley College has a national reputation for its plumbing and heating courses and we are delighted not only support the College but also to reward the efforts of the students. Our congratulations go to Zoe and Saffron for coming out on top this year.”

David Lord, Head of Construction at Burnley College, said: “To have a firm as well respected as James Hargreaves as a partner is massive for us as we strive to encourage and produce the plumbing and heating engineers of the future. Our students really appreciate the wonderful support from James Hargreaves.”
