Preston's College HNC construction student visit
15/3/2019
Preston’s College HNC Construction students enjoyed an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the Porsche Centre Preston development site.
Warden Construction invited 12 students to find out more about the multi-million pound development on Watery Lane in Preston.
Warden Construction’s Managing Director, Richard Kenworthy, said: “The visit was a great opportunity to provide students with an example of a live construction site."
“We provided students with a tour of the site and provided them with an opportunity to talk at length with our experienced site managers.”
Mark Taylor, Head of School for Construction at Preston’s College, added: “Providing an opportunity to experience a live construction site will help to make our students the most employable."
“Equally, the experience will help students to relate the theory developed in the classroom directly to the work environment."
“We would like to extend our thanks to Warden Construction and Porsche Centre Preston for the tour.”
The site tour was hosted by Warden Site Manager Elliot Atherton. Elliot has eight years’ experience in the construction sector with full and part time education playing a key role in his rise up the ladder. He started out as a joinery apprentice before progressing onto Warden’s Management Training Scheme gaining his HNC in Construction. Elliot is currently undertaking his NVQ Level Six Site Management.
Richard Kenworthy added: “Elliot is a great example of how education can impact on the success of a career. The construction industry in the UK needs to invest in education to help bridge the skills gap. The Preston’s College student visit was a wonderful way to promote and encourage construction to the next generation right here in Lancashire.”

. From 01 January 2019, all fuel consumption figures are shown as determined in accordance with WLTP. CO₂ figures will be shown as NEDC-equivalent values, as CO₂ based taxation will continue to be based on an NEDC value (derived from WLTP) until 06 April 2020. For Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) range and Equivalent All Electric Range (EAER) figures are determined with the battery fully charged, using a combination of both battery power and fuel.
Values are provided for comparison only. To the extent that fuel and energy consumption or CO₂ values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. Optional features and accessories can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics which may result in a change in fuel or energy consumption and CO₂ values. Vehicle loading, topography, weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual driving styles, can all affect the actual fuel consumption, energy consumption, electrical range, and CO₂ emissions of a car.
