Investiture for Leicester College Principal Maggie Galliers

Leicester College Principal Maggie Galliers visited Buckingham Palace to be officially awarded her CBE by Her Majesty the Queen.
Maggie received her honour in recognition for her services to local and national further education. 

 Having been Principal of Leicester College since July 2002, Maggie was previously Principal of Henley College Coventry for five years.  She has taught in all sectors of education and also held a wide variety of management positions in further education.

Maggie has also made a significant contribution to further education at national level.  She is currently a member of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority Board, the Ofqual Committee, the National and Learning Skills Council, and the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) Board.

With over 26,000 learners, Leicester College is one of the largest and most successful colleges in the UK.  The College has an excellent local and national reputation and our awards and quality marks, ranging from membership of four National Skills Academies, achievement of the Training Quality Standard for excellence in services to businesses, to Charter Mark, the Government’s national award for customer excellence, reflect this.

Maggie Galliers said, “I am thrilled and extremely proud to be honoured in this way.  As well as a privilege to me personally, it is also a tribute to all the people I’ve worked with during my career.  I work with a fantastic group of people, and this award reflects what they do on a day-to-day basis to change learners lives.”
