Coleg Gwent’s business team is celebrating a trio of awards after this year’s Chartered Institute of Environmental Health Awards.

The team works with employers to provide a range of training, including the CIEH Level 4 qualification, the highest achievement in food safety and health and safety.

The CIEH annual awards ceremony recognises those who have excelled in the field of environmental health. The event was held at the House of Commons terrace.

CIEH president Janet Russell said: “Being able to hold this event in Parliament makes the symbolic and very real connection between the policies of government and the work that we do in practical implementation for the public good, for the health and wellbeing of the nation.”

Coleg Gwent was awarded Best Centre, Best Trainer and a Student Award for Health & Safety in the Workplace 2013. The awards reflect the excellence in training and the delivery of the CIEH training products and services.

The award for CIEH Level 4 Best Centre was collected by centre coordinator Siobhain Davies, along with Jane Yates, who received the Best Trainer Award. Student Andrea Davis was recognised for her results, having achieved the highest mark out of all students taking CIEH Level 4 Managing Food Safety qualifications in 2013.

Siobhain Davies said: “Receiving the Best Centre Award is an outstanding achievement for us. The fact that Jane was awarded Best Tutor and Andrea achieved the highest mark of all CIEH students in 2013 is a true reflection of the hard work and commitment of our staff and students.”

Coleg Gwent’s business team recently relocated to the Royal Chambers in Newport city centre.
