Sutton-in-Ashfield Partnership with Vision West Nottinghamshire College
Huws Gray Sutton-in-Ashfield have developed an amazing partnership with the post-16 training college with 11,000 learners. This partnership promotes sustainability and environmental consciousness as ALL of the branch’s damaged plasterboard is donated to the college for reuse in training.
The college is also invited to purchase any other damaged goods at a discount, such as chipped sanitary ware which is unsaleable to the public but perfectly usable for training and education.
This partnership has also benefited the college and associated community through a staff and student account and multiple supplier engagement days and talks. These events go towards the students’ educational training, and top learners are invited to engage with suppliers directly for further advice and development opportunities.
Suppliers such as Ox Tools, Milwaukee Tools, and Walsh Blyth & Turton PPE have come along to trade days, the latter of the three donating 300 pairs of socks. Our Sutton-in-Ashfield Huws Gray branch has also facilitated a partnership between the college and green supplier to help support their growing green initiative through the donation of £50,000 worth of green products.
