Award hope for Telford after festival

EDINBURGH’S Telford College has been shortlisted for a prestigious marketing award following the success of its student-led Telford Festival.

The college will go head-to-head with Coatbridge College and Dundee College in the event category of this year’s Scotland’s Colleges Marketing Awards.

Telford Festival, which took place over a six-week period last year, provided an outlet for students to showcase the work they had produced over the last year through performances, exhibitions and celebrations.

Events and communications coordinator at the college, Lyndsey Dougan, said the awards were “highly prized” and it was an “absolute honour” to be shortlisted.

The awards ceremony will take place at the Royal Hotel in Stirling tomorrow. Scotland’s Colleges Marketing Awards are designed to recognise excellent marketing practice.
