The Chichester and Bognor Regis branches of Covers have donated materials and kitchen units to help students studying carpentry and joinery as part of the company’s new sponsorship agreement with Chichester College.

The timber and builders’ merchant, which has depots in Quarry Lane, Chichester and Station Yard, Bognor Regis, is a long-term supporter of the college having been involved for many years, including sponsoring three awards at the college’s Construction Prize Giving in June 2017. The new sponsorship agreement will continue the work Covers does to encourage and inspire students hoping to undertake a career in the timber and construction trades.

Henry Green, Managing Director at Covers, said:

“It is only through courses like those offered by Chichester College that we can continue to welcome new professionals into the trade. We are really keen to support and encourage the next generation so that they can develop their skills and be part of such a rewarding industry. We wish the students the very best of luck with their studies.”

Warren Guildford, who is Study Programme Leader for Level 2 Carpentry at Chichester College, added:

“I would like to thank Covers for its continued support in assisting our students in their studies. Donations like this really make a difference to the overall educational experience, providing the students with the opportunity to undertake practical tasks and develop their skill sets.”
