Portakabin launches search for star student

Business studies students at Knowsley College are being given an extra incentive to make the grade thanks to Portakabin.

To celebrate the 10^th birthday of the modular building provider’s Merseyside Hire Centre, the company is sponsoring the college’s foundation degree in Business and Management, which will see the top-performing student rewarded with a cash prize.

Gill Head, Manager at the Portakabin Merseyside Hire Centre, said, ‘Students taking courses such as Business and Management are the people we want to work with in the future. By forging links with the college 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.’

Colin Roberts, Business Management Course Leader, at Knowsley College, said, ‘We’re delighted that Portakabin has chosen to sponsor our Business and Management course as part of the Merseyside Hire Centre’s birthday 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 birthday celebrations at the Knowsley Hire Centre on Knowsley Business Park, Prescot, Merseyside will take place on 11^th and 12^th October, when local businesses from across the region will be invited to come along and celebrate with the team.

Her Worship the Mayor of Knowsley, Joan Quilliam will also be attending the Open Day on 11th October.
