🏅 Inspiring Staff Spotlight 🏅
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate our colleague Rob, who continues to inspire both students and staff with his dedication and determination.

Recently, Rob took part in the Great Manchester 10km Race — Europe’s biggest 10K event, with over 30,000 runners — and achieved an outstanding result, finishing 1st in his age category with a time of 39:29! 👏

Even more impressively, this marks every race since 2009 — a true testament to his commitment and passion. Alongside this achievement, Rob is also making a donation to the charity Mind, supporting mental health awareness. 💙

An incredible accomplishment and a fantastic example of resilience, consistency, and giving back — values we’re proud to champion at Abbey College Manchester.
