Newry Junior Chamber presented Linda Copes, BTEC National Diploma in Business Year 2 from Newry Campus Southern Regional College with the Business Student of the Year Award along with a cheque for £200.00.

This trophy and cheque, sponsored by Newry Junior Chamber has recognised the Business Student of the Year for the past five years. We wish Linda best of luck for the future and would encourage her to become a member of the Junior Chamber which will help her future career and opportunities for networking, training and social events.

Head of Business Studies, Marie Reilly stated that “the award went to Linda for her outstanding work throughout the year along with the great effort to finish the year with her Diploma in Business”. A Student of the Year will be a good ‘all rounder’ as opposed to a top-performing student in individual subject areas.

Nicola Whyte, President of Newry Junior Chamber stated “Newry Junior Chamber is proud to present this award and cheque to Linda, the Award will highlight the importance of Linda’s personal and career development”.
