A HALTON company which has been decorating the new sixth form college have been so impressed with the facilities - they've enroled for classes!
The painting and decorating firm NEMS has been working on the new £3m development in Old Coach Road, off Percival Lane ready for its official opening next month.
One painter, Dominic Fox, aged 22 and of Sutton Weaver, said: "I've been working here for three months so it feels like a home from home now.
Pleasure
"I'm going to be studying computing and information technology.
"It will be a real pleasure in a building like this."
NEMS also scored top marks for the high standard of work they have produced.
Main contractors Barr Construction Ltd praised the Runcorn-based firm for the superb finish achieved at the three-storey buildings which were built on old derelict land.
Some of the NEMS teams of decorators have been so impressed by the college itself they have been inspired to sign-up for further education.
NEMS managing director, Barney Rooney, said: "This is a superb building and one that has been finished to the very highest standards.
"It's a project that we are really proud to have been associated with since it's going to be a great asset to the whole area.
"People don't realise that professional painters and decorators take a great pride in their job and have a lasting connection with the buildings they have worked on. In this case the lads have a real sense of achievement since this is a public building that is going to make a real difference to so many people's lives."
