Two construction management professionals have been awarded 2024 Maidstone Hub’s Outstanding Student awards. Both were students at London and South East College Bexley campus.
Regina Boateng studied construction management and was nominated for her self-motivation and ability to balance a busy life. The college commended her for managing the demands of her studies with family life as a single mum to her teenage son and holding down a full-time job where she works unsociable hours managing logistics of truck drivers.
Her college said: “She brings enthusiasm and contributes well to classes, together with demonstrating her ability to assimilate new knowledge and skills and apply them. She has also consistently produced work of a high standard throughout the programme. Her generosity and willingness to help others contribute significantly to the class dynamics.”
Regina was thrilled to win the award: “It was a wonderful surprise and a great honour. Completing the course was a dream come true and a personal accomplishment. Being recognised and awarded for my efforts was truly humbling and inspiring. It serves as a reminder that hard work and dedication are often noticed and appreciated.” She is now seeking employment in construction.
‘Exceptional dedication’
Elliot Bevan joined Boateng as a winner thanks to his “exceptional dedication and achievements during his two-year journey” in the HNC in Building Surveying programme.
The college said: “Throughout his studies, he has exhibited a relentless pursuit of excellence. His work consistently reflects growth, adaptability and a commitment to learning. His ability to evolve and refine his skills is commendable.”
Bevan, who now works for Moat Homes, said: “From when I first knew that I was receiving an award for Outstanding Student Award I could not believe it! The hard work and determination definitely paid off and I was so grateful that I was recognised for my work.”
