Oliver’s New Role

Jack Petchey award winner Oliver Taylor has continued to go from strength to strength by starting an exciting new role in the wood manufacturing industry.

Oliver, who completed his studies at Colchester Institute in 2020 was awarded the Jack Petchey award for being a top performing student and assisting his peers.

After his family recently moved to Manningtree, Oliver researched local companies and found ‘Woodfashioners’ where he manged to secure a position during the covid crisis, which is testament to his hard work and tenacity.

‘Woodfashioners’ who also employ two former Colchester Institute Wood Occupations students are a family organisation who specialise in building unique, bespoke, ‘one-of-a-kind’ spaces including exhibition stands, furniture, retail displays and marketing activations for events, exhibitions, home and business.
