Last week, delegates from SMB College Group attended the Nachural Entrepreneurship Awards Ceremony at The King Power Stadium in Leicester, where they secured the Enterprise of the Year Award!

This win serves to recognise the excellent work that the college has undertaken in innovation, sustainable development and promoting opportunity for students, and highlights their work with local and national businesses to enhance the overall college experience of both students and apprentices.

Dawn Whitemore, Principal and CEO of SMB College Group, said ‘We are incredibly proud to win the Enterprise of the Year award, which serves to recognise the fantastic work that our teaching and business support staff do across the college to promote innovation and development.


‘As a college, we are very proud of the way that we work with local and national businesses to secure the very best experience for our students and apprentices, and to help a wide range of companies to train their workforces of the future.’

This exciting award win follows the College winning the Nachural Entrepreneurship Award for Promoting Apprenticeships in 2023.
