Staff across the Croydon College Group have been celebrated by their peers as part of the annual Staff Awards.

Marking the end of an exceptional 2021, where staff worked tirelessly to ensure the Group’s community and those dependent on it were supported and succeeding, staff were asked to cast their vote in six categories.

Employees voted for their co-workers using an anonymous online portal, with the winners each receiving an award.

Croydon College Group’s Principal and CEO, Caireen Mitchell, said: “Our staff worked tirelessly throughout 2021 in support of each other and our students. These awards are a great way to round off the year, celebrate everyone’s achievements, and thank all our employees for their outstanding contributions.”
