She said: “My teachers were so empowering and really supportive. They got me thinking that everything is achievable.”

Andy Gilman presented the Ministry of Defence Award to an HND Business Management graduate, Tayyebah Hayat.

The award is to those who demonstrate exceptional levels of commitment and tenacity to complete the course while meeting family and work commitments.

Tayyebah said: “Ultimately, it comes down to the support of my family and tutors and all of the great opportunities we had at college that help you to make the most of your time.”
