We are pleased to announce that Andrew Cochrane has been appointed as Chair of Governors of Derby College Group.

Andrew, who has been a governor at DCG since 2019, succeeds former headteacher, Phil Dover.

As a highly regarded member of the Derbyshire community, he takes on this role alongside serving as Deputy Lieutenant of Derbyshire and Under Sheriff of Derbyshire.

Commenting on his new position, Andrew adds: “Derby College Group is a significant community asset, and its continued good performance is key to providing young people with the tools they need to find secure, well-paid jobs.

“I am committed to ensuring that DCG continues to meet the skills requirements of the local economy and therefore, by doing so, delivers secure and well-paid employment opportunities for the young people in our area.

“Furthermore, with economic clouds gathering, the potential impact on the jobs market means that colleges such as ours will have an increasingly important role in re-skilling people for new careers.”
