D.R.E & Co Chartered Accountants joins Ludlow College’s Patron Scheme to support future business professionals
Ludlow College is very pleased to continue and expand its partnership with D.R.E & Co Chartered Accountants as part of the Ludlow College Employer Patron Scheme.
D.R.E & Co Chartered Accountants and the college have formalised a shared commitment to developing the next generation of business professionals. The collaboration will provide students with valuable industry insight, real world experiences, and opportunities to engage directly with professionals working in the sector.
Building on an already successful relationship, D.R.E & Co Chartered Accountants has agreed to support a programme of activity throughout the 2026/27 academic year, helping to ensure students at Ludlow College benefit from employer-led learning and gain the skills, confidence, and commercial awareness needed by today’s employers.
Aaron Powis, Partner at DRE said “We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Ludlow College through the Employer Patron Scheme. As a local firm, we believe it is incredibly important to invest in the next generation and give young people a genuine insight into the opportunities available within accountancy and the wider business world.
We’re looking forward to sharing our experience with students and hopefully inspiring some of them to consider a future career within the profession. Supporting talented young people in our local community is something we are very proud to be part of”.
Through the partnership, D.R.E & Co Chartered Accountants will contribute to a range of activities including guest lectures, curriculum development, mock interviews, and work experience opportunities. These activities are designed to bridge the gap between education and employment, ensuring students are equipped with both the technical knowledge and employability skills needed to succeed in their future careers.
Linda Randall, Head of Ludlow College, said “We are incredibly grateful for DRE’s ongoing support and commitment to our students. This partnership will help our learners understand industry expectations, build confidence, and develop the skills employers are looking for.“.
