Damar’s 2010 celebration event for successful learners and employers took place at Edgeley Park in Stockport on Thursday 28th October. This year was particularly special because it is just over 30 years since Damar was established by Dale Stafford. Attended by over 170 employers and learners, the event was an opportunity to thank employers and also to recognise and celebrate the achievements of all of our apprentices and NVQ students over the last year.
As well as presenting all of the learners who attended with a certificate, the following special awards were presented to individuals and organisations who have made a particularly strong contribution to learning and development over the past year…
