LaSer UK provides continued support to Solihull College
Wed, 26 Oct 2011
As part of its continued commitment to the communities in which it operates, LaSer UK has forged links with Solihull College, working on a number of projects to help bring young people into employment and provide learning opportunities for its employees.
LaSer UK, the credit, loyalty and retail finance services provider, employees more than 500 people in Solihull town centre and is active in its Make A Difference CSR programme. Staff are actively encouraged to get involved in fundraising and volunteering activities to benefit the local community.
Throughout the partnership LaSer UK and Solihull College have worked together providing NVQ training for employees, mentoring programmes and Business Enterprise schemes for students.
In recognition of its support, Solihull College invited LaSer UK to present an award at its celebration of achievement ceremony. Conor Cubitt, Chief Operating Officer, presented the LaSer UK Award to Hayley Cowley who graduated with a Degree in Business, Management and Communications with a distinction.
Conor Cubitt said: “Our Make a Difference programme gives employees the platform to support local communities and organisations, whether volunteering for charitable organisations or taking time to support and mentor local academic and business talent. I was delighted to present the award to Hayley and it was a fitting ceremony for so many young people that have achieved great things at Solihull College.”
