Medal of Excellence for Floristry student - Bridgwater & Taunton College

A Floristry student at Bridgwater & Taunton College recently won a prestigious City & Guilds Medal of Excellence.

Emily Jameson, who lives in Huish Episcopi near Langport, is one of only 83 medallists this year and has the opportunity to go forward for one of nine Lion Awards due to be announced in May.

City & Guilds' Medals for Excellence is a global scheme that has been running for more than 100 years. It recognizes the achievements of learners, lecturers and trainers who have achieved great results by producing exceptional work, going above and beyond what is expected to achieve their goals. The honour not only rewards excellent results but also those who show a true journey of progression throughout their qualification.

On reflection of Emily’s work, one judges commented,

“Your lovely work has been illustrated throughout by splendid photographs; the artwork and design flair that is evident throughout your work is of very high quality and more typical of a level beyond that which you were working at the time, so it is pleasing to see that you have already moved forward in your studies.”

Emily Jameson, commented,

“I am honoured to have been given this award and very happy to have been selected to represent the College’s Floristry department who have supported me along the way. It is nice that all of my hard work has paid off.”

Jacqui Weaver, Course Leader for Floristry at Bridgwater & Taunton College, said,

“Emily produced an exceptionally well presented portfolio to support her Level 2 floristry practical work. The high standards evident and artwork incorporated meant she was an ideal candidate to put forward for this award. The department is only allowed to submit one student each year and the competition was high, but Emily’s folders stood out as she has exceptional floristry & drawing skills. Emily is an excellent florist and has now progressed onto the Level 3 Floristry course.”
