It was an evening of celebration as we honoured our amazing employers at the South Thames Colleges Group Employer Awards 2025.
Guests were welcomed by the Mayor of Merton Councillor Martin Whelton and Peter Mayhew-Smith, Group Principal and CEO of South Thames Colleges Group. We work closely to build strong partnerships with local employers, to ensure we provide our students with valuable work experience, careers advice and training opportunities.
