Portakabin launches search for star student

A-Level Business Studies students at Longley Park College, Sheffield, are being given an extra incentive to make the grade thanks to Portakabin.

To celebrate the launch of the new Portakabin Solus building the modular building provider’s Sheffield Hire Centre is teaming up with the school’s A-Level Business Studies course, which will see the most improved student rewarded with a cash prize.

Oliver Talbot, Manager at the Portakabin Sheffield Hire Centre, said, ‘Students taking courses such as Business Studies are the people we want to work with in the future. By forging links with the school and providing an extra incentive to succeed, we hope to be able to help them in their studies which will provide strong foundations for success in their future careers.’

Stephen Coote, Deputy Director of Teaching and Learning, at Longley Park College, said, ‘We’re delighted that Portakabin has chosen to support our A-Level Business Studies course as part of the Sheffield Hire Centre’s celebrations.

‘Developing relationships with well-known businesses such as Portakabin is a key priority for us as it exposes the students to the ‘real world’ of business. This really helps them in their studies as it enhances their understanding of how companies that they may work with in the future actually operate.’

The celebrations at the Sheffield Hire Centre on Barleywood Road, Sheffield, will take place on 15^th and 16^th November, when local businesses from across the region will be invited to come along and celebrate with the Portakabin team.

Her Worship, the Mayor of Sheffield, Jackie Drayton, will also be attending the Open Day on 15th November.
