University of Glamorgan - Award-winning Student

A local student at the University of Glamorgan has beaten off strong competition to win a top prize. Adrian Jenkins recently completed his final year and won the Student of the Year Award, which is sponsored by the leading specialist recruitment consultancy, Hays Construction.

The purpose of the award is to promote, recognise and reward excellence in the field of construction. Hays Construction recently attended a prizegiving ceremony at the University to present a cheque and framed certificate to the proud student.

Steve Peake, Regional Business Director of Hays Construction, says: “A lot of people don’t realise that there is a shortage of qualified construction professionals in the UK. Studying to attain a formal qualification will certainly enhance Adrian’s career prospects and he should be commended for his amazing achievement. I would like to congratulate Adrian on his success – he is a very deserving winner.’’
