Davie, a well-respected former policeman and current Queen’s Park FC Child Wellbeing and Protection Officer, said: “I have enjoyed every minute of my time on the Board prioritising what was best for the students at the College. I am delighted and honoured to receive this Fellowship Award and am looking forward to continuing to support the College in any way I can.”
Andrew, said: “I loved my time at Forth Valley College and remember many fine graduation ceremonies over the years at Stirling Castle and Falkirk Town Hall, where I saw so many worthy people receive awards and Fellowships. I never thought I would be receiving one myself, but I feel honoured to have been presented with this Fellowship, it really means a great deal to me.”
More than 780 students were eligible to graduate this year from Forth Valley College and 269 of them chose to collect their scrolls - 155 at Falkirk and 114 at Stirling Castle.
Guest speaker at the Falkirk Town Hall event was Tracy Black Scotland Director for the CBI, while BBC presenter Amy Irons gave the keynote speech at Stirling Castle. Ross Martin, current Chair of the Forth Valley Board of Management gave the Vote of Thanks at Falkirk, while Vice Chair Trudi Craggs ended the ceremony at Stirling.
