Leyland Trucks honoured for educational work

The company earned The Partnership with Education Award at The Manufacturer MX Awards, where judges commended the company’s extensive school-outreach programme designed to promote STEM subjects (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) with children from primary school age through to University undergraduates.

The company also runs partnership programmes with Preston’s College and has been instrumental in developing an industry partnership with the college. Ivan Shearer, HR director at Leyland Trucks, said: "Supporting education is very important to Leyland Trucks, not only to provide continued development for our employees but to engage with those still in education and to help maintain the rich engineering heritage of our region.”
