Forth Valley College’s Principal Dr Ken Thomson has won a coveted Institute of Directors award.
The College Principal who last year was awarded an OBE for services to education, economic development and the communities of central Scotland, won the Regional Director – Central Scotland award, at the prestigious ceremony held virtually online on last night (Tuesday 8 September) and hosted by Grant Stott.
Ken was also shortlisted for the Public Sector Director of the Year award at the event which was initially earmarked to be held in May 2020, but was postponed due to the pandemic lockdown.
Up to six finalists are shortlisted in each award category and winners of each of the categories are now automatically entered into the UK finals.
FVC Principal Dr Ken Thomson, said: “I am delighted to have won this award which was presented by such an important organisation as the Institute of Directors.
“I must say that although I have received this award I honestly feel that it reflects, not only the nominated director, but also the quality of the organisation they represent and I am proud to have won in my role as Principal of such a wonderful college.
“This recognition is borne out of hard work, but I find much of my inspiration comes from the talented people I work with at Forth Valley College and their constant desire, determination and commitment to Make Learning Work for the people of Forth Valley and Scotland as a whole. I am very proud to have won, proud to work for such a wonderful college and proud to have so many excellent colleagues to share this with.”
