Royal Visit to King David High School

Prince Edward, HRH the Earl of Wessex, became the first official guest at the new King David High School in Liverpool on Wednesday 25th May.

VINCI Construction UK is nearing completion of the project which was awarded by Liverpool City Council as part of the Liverpool Building Schools for the Future (BSF) framework.

The company recently became a supporter of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and as a Trustee of the DofE, the Prince visited the new school site and met with staff members including Gary Kays and Sam Finch who are currently participating on the VINCI DofE Business Gold Award programme.

Gary commented on his experience so far on the programme, saying: "the DofE experience has given me the opportunity and confidence to participate and share my views with colleagues, both inside and outside of the work environment, through the team working challenges that we have faced to date."
 
In the evening, the Prince attended a fund raising event in support of the DofE, held at Knowsley Hall. Among the guests were John Stanion and Chris Hamer.
