In the original announcement, Tom Malpass, the college’s Business Development Manager for Apprenticeships and one of the organisers, said:

“We wanted to acknowledge all the tireless work that people in our community have demonstrated over the last few years. The pandemic has been hard for everyone and we’ve had to pull together. BLC’s NAW 2022 meal is our opportunity to say thank you to those amongst us that have gone the extra mile – our pandemic heroes.”
