A quartet of new governors have been appointed to strengthen Nelson and Colne College’s Board of Corporation following its successful merger with Accrington and Rossendale College.

 

The new board members will play a key role in supporting Nelson and Colne College, Accrington and Rossendale College and Lancashire Adult Learning, as they work to establish the vision of a combined institution that offers exceptional skills, vocational and occupational training, sixth form and adult community provision across East Lancashire and beyond.

Biographies of the new governors are briefly summarised here:
