Norbrook Staff In Inaugural Graduation
Five employees from Norbrook Laboratories in Newry are the first ever students to graduate with a Foundation Degree in Applied and Medical Science from the Southern Regional College, Newry.
Elizabeth Moran, Janette O’Hagan, Nicola Anderson, Laura Sloan and Marianne Niblock completed the Degree, which was funded by Norbrook, on a two and a half year part-time basis.
Lord Ballyedmond, Chairman and CEO of Norbrook Laboratories Ltd congratulated the graduates on their achievement: “Norbrook is committed to providing ongoing further education opportunities to our staff and I am delighted that five of our staff are the first-ever graduates in Applied and Medical Science from the SRC, Newry. It is a tremendous personal achievement for them and is also a reflection of the calibre of our staff at Norbrook who are prepared to commit so much personal time and effort in furthering their own education which will ultimately benefit the company.”
Norbrook have long-established links with the Southern Regional College in Newry and were instrumental in the development stage of the course design. Mr Brian Doran, Chief Executive, SRC explains: “It is vitally important that the SRC engages with industry when we are designing and establishing new degree courses. Norbrook has been a constant supporter of SRC and were involved in the development of the Foundation Degree in Applied & Medical Science which we offer in conjunction with the University of Ulster. It is therefore extremely fitting that the first graduates from this course are Norbrook employees. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them on their achievement and would encourage other Norbrook employees to follow in their colleagues footsteps.”
Graduations took place on Friday 2nd September at the Armagh City Hotel.
