Landmark Learner Awards Ceremony

14th October 2009

Landmark’s students rewarded by big name sponsors at the annual Learner Awards ceremony

The Learner Awards is an opportunity bring together Landmark’s students, staff, supporters, employers and friends to celebrate the successes of the past year. This year was the first time we have had sponsorship for several of the Awards which meant we could reward the students with some great prizes.

The event took place in the glamorous setting of the main hall at the Old Town Hall, Stratford. The ceremony was hosted by two of Landmark’s learners, Chanice Cameron and Tahiqul Islam, who did a fantastic, very professional job of introducing the key speakers, awards and nominees.
