Provost Ronnie Burns and Renfrewshire council recently hosted a civic lunch at the Watermill Hotel for Reid Kerr College staff in recognition of the contribution the college makes to the economy and culture of Renfrewshire.

International students from Africa, Asia and Europe bring a diversity of culture to Paisley contributing to the local community with many progressing to Paisley University to complete their studies.

Renfrewshire's provost Ronnie Burns said: "Renfrewshire is gaining an increasingly strong reputation for the quality of further and higher education and the links between that sector and the community. Reid Kerr College is at the forefront of those developments and I was delighted to learn more from college representatives and students from all over the world."

Joe Mooney, principal of Reid Kerr College commented in his reply to the provost’s welcome that, “Reid Kerr is honoured to have the full support of the provost and Renfrewshire council in making Paisley a town for students to be proud of.”
