Award Winning Local Student

Two local students at Sheffield Hallam University have beaten strong competition to win top prizes. Sally Bolger and Ian Ellison recently completed their final years; both were sponsored by the leading specialist recruitment consultancy, Hays Facilities Management. Sally won Most Outstanding Student Award and Ian won Best Dissertation Award. 

The purpose of the awards is to promote, recognise and reward excellence in this field. Hays Facilities Management recently attended a prizegiving ceremony at the University to present a cheque and framed certificate to the proud students. 

Tim Rudkin at Hays Facilities Management says: “This award is a small step toward rewarding the next generation for their hard work. We are proud to support students pursuing a career in Facilities Management and would strongly encourage these students to explore the many employment opportunities that exist locally.”
