West Kent College’s 2nd Annual Staff Awards took place on the 3rd March at Salomons Centre in Tunbridge Wells. It was attended by 150 staff, all of whom were nominated for awards, and the event sought to reward and celebrate achievements of Teaching and Support staff across the College.
Everyone nominated was voted for by their peers. The nominees in each category were then shortlisted by ‘judging pods’ and the overall winners were selected at a final judging meeting held in February.
Guests were entertained by local stand-up comedian Stephen Upsall, who also hosted the event, and a six-piece band, Round Midnight. Steve Hearn was also there to draw some wonderful and intriguing caricatures of staff.
Below are some pictures of the evening, including all of the winners.
