Chairman of Landex Introduction

The Further Education sector, including all our member colleges has experienced a rollercoaster ride during the past year. Many of us excited about our capital investment plans and the possible further development of excellent, industry leading specialist resources and facilities for our staff and students and the continuing increasing investment in further education and training. My how the climate can change in such a short period of time! Now the storm clouds are gathering and colleges facing a significant squeeze on future funding.

Other challenges we face include the implementation of ”MoG” and the introduction of a new Common Inspection Framework. One thing that has been consistent during this period is the excellence of the service Landex has provided to its members both in quality enhancement and development under Graham Patrick’s lead and in influencing key policymakers.

The Landex Annual General Meeting and Autumn Conference was a prime example of how we work with and influence decision makers. David Willetts, Shadow Secretary of State for Innovation Universities and Skills, Jim Fitzpatrick Minister of State for Food Farming and the Environment, Peter Lauener the new Chief Executive of the YPLA and Dr David Collins, Chief Executive of LSIS all addressed the conference and responded to probing and challenging questions.

I would like to thank our Chief Executive Vic Croxson and my fellow Board members for their tremendous work in leading Landex and for their willingness to commit so much time and effort into meetings with MP’s, Ministers and civil servants for the benefit of our Colleges and most importantly our learners and the industries we serve.

Chair of Landex
