Remember a little while back we told you how the Isle of Wight college was in the running for Best college Website in the UK?
Here’s the update – They’ve only gone and won it haven’t they!
The three members of the IW College marketing team made the journey to the Hilton Hotel in Coventry for the College Marketing Network’s FE First Awards last week, finding themselves heading back with the award that Rachel Smith, the Director of Marketing for The College Marketing Network, told us was very hard to judge as “the quality on entries were so high.”
Aaron Bentley, the man behind the site
We chatted to Aaron Bentley, who was behind the creation of the new site, who said he was “Really pleased with the results.”
He continued, “It’s been a labour of love for me and I really appreciated the huge amount of effort from everyone at college. Without their input the site wouldn’t have turned out as it did.”
We asked Aaron what it was like at the awards, “We had an awesome time up there, meeting loads of cool people, but in the lead up to the reading of the results, I’ve never been so scared in my life.”
Alongside the pride of knowing that the IW College has the best college Website in the UK, they got an engraved glass trophy and a framed certificate to remember it by.
What’s next we asked Aaron “We’re looking forward to next year’s competition.”
