College hero
I had a very enjoyable farewell lunch yesterday with Uxbridge College Principal Rachel Davies, who is shortly to take up a similar post at Taunton College.
Rachel has always impressed me in her extremely demanding role at the College and from a personal point of view I will be sorry to see her leave Uxbridge.
In recent years the Gazette has worked closely with the College on a number of projects the most high profile being our annual Local Heroes Awards, which the college sponsor.
It was through Rachel's enthusiasm and support for these awards that they were launched by the Gazette some five years ago and they have continue to grow in strength and stature since then.
Infact in the next couple of months or so we will be launching the 2007 Local Heroes Awards in the Gazette and I am delighted that the College will once again be sponsoring them.
During Rachel's time at Uxbridge College it has gone from strength to strength both academically and in terms of the facilities it now offers. She has also been involved in a number of other activities in the borough outside of the college and I am sure that many people will agree that her drive and enthusiasm will be missed.
I wish her well in her new job in Somerset.
