Gary FisherHNC Construction - Design Engineer
Gary started his career as a design engineer and after more than sixteen years working in the construction industry he has returned to college to study a HNC in Construction with the goal to develop knowledge and skills that will take his career to the next level.
“As a design engineer I have found that my role is quite specialised and it can be difficult to find new learning opportunities. The HNC at Preston’s College is the perfect platform for me to develop knowledge of a wide range of construction topics and demonstrate my capacity to learn. It has already proved invaluable in my current role and I know it will help me secure a promotion in the near future.”
