,
third heat of the televised cookery com petition featuring the part-time geogra- teacher and community food leader.

and daughters Sophie (six) and Lucy (two). Following the filming of her heat, she
decided to pursue a career working \vith food and successfully applied to Burnley Food Links to become a community food leader. She is now responsible for the “Soups and Salads” project which aims to promote healthy eating in the town. Our photograph shows “Masterchef” contender Julie. (T080108/lb)

■ teaching learners at their own pace and style, as well as problem solving and social skills. They have so much opportu nity open to them.” Steve went on to reflect on the growth
of Lancashire-based Training 2000 since from its humble beginnings in the 1960s, when houses were selling for £4,500 and you could buy a brand new Ford Cortina for £749. By the time it moved to its new head
office in Harwood Street, Blackburn, in 1989, Training 2000 had 66 staff and a turnover of £2.1m. Today, it has some 300 staff and a turnover of £12m. As well as recognising the hard work of
apprentices on the night, special recogni tion was given to former chief executives Jim Hargreaves and Jeff Cowburn, who have been key to the company's growth and success since its inception. As an extra bonus to the evening’*® ^
brations, Peter Young, the enginewSg department’s longest serving staff mem ber, was invited to collect the NWAA Training Provider Award, which had been announced just the night before. Our picture shows Castle Cement
