A DEDICATED employee at Sixth Form College, Solihull has been recognised for 40 years of service.
Maggie Allwood, who is a member of the catering staff, is said to be valued by students and her fellow colleagues for her infectious smile.
Maggie started work at the college in 1979 as a cleaner, and in 1992 moved to work in the refectory.
She was recognised for that service during a meeting with principal Martin Sullivan and catering manager Mark Peasland.
Mr Sullivan said: “Everyone loves Maggie. She was given a special award in recognition of her long service at our awards evening a couple of years ago and the students cheered when she went up to pick up her prize.
“That speaks volumes of the high regard with which she is held by staff and students alike.
“Our refectory would not be the same place without her and we are grateful for her dedication and cheery demeanour.”
