We are pleased to annouce that the PlanBee programme has been awarded one of the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Prizes for Higher and Further Education, the highest national honour a Further Education College can receive.
These prizes form part of the UK’s official honours system and are awarded biannually by the Sovereign, acting on the Prime Minister’s recommendation after a thorough and independent review. They celebrate exceptional contributions from UK colleges and universities that exemplify excellence, drive innovation, and deliver meaningful benefits to society.
PlanBEE is a unique, two-year apprenticeship delivered by Gateshead College which offers aspiring engineers the opportunity to experience the wide variety of disciplines within the construction industry, whilst progressing with their academic studies. Cundall is proud to be one of the founding companies, along with Ryder, Arup, Faulkner Browns, Brims, Sir Robert McAlpine, Tolent, 3E and Xsite.
We’re proud to share this achievement with our partners and all those who have contributed to making PlanBEE a success. Together, we’re driving innovation and creating opportunities that make a real difference.
