Vertas Group receive Community Partner Award

After supporting ASSET Education Trust with a number of projects, Vertas Group has received recognition for its commitment to the local community.

The ASSET Celebration evening, held on Tuesday, June 25th, is dedicated to honouring the work of volunteers across the trust’s school communities. Vertas Group has worked with ASSET on several initiatives and is delighted to have been presented with the Community Partner Award.

This award reflects the hard work and dedication of our colleagues across the business who have contributed to the partnership. From providing catering for the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme to engaging our transport team to deliver the prepared food, colleagues have poured their passion into every project.

Since first collaborating with the Trust, colleagues have consistently gone above and beyond to support student’s education. Most recently, the company hosted a group of Asset alumni for a series of workshops aimed at helping the students develop a business plan for their ‘People Park’ project.

Susan Mahoney, Lead for Education Catering, has worked on all of these initiatives and was delighted to collect the award on behalf of the company. These projects include a live cooking demonstration and a fun-filled ‘What’s my name?’ activity at Holton St Peter Primary School. Furthermore, Susan revisited the school in June to host an interactive smoothie bike session.
