The two further educational groups are set to merge as they ‘believe that by combining their extensive expertise, knowledge, resources and passion for education, they can best support the current and future needs of the diverse communities and employers they serve.’

Andy Cole, chief executive at GB MET said: “Combining our expertise, knowledge and resources with CCG’s will create a strong, dynamic and financially resilient FE group which is able to meet the skills needs of the West Sussex and Brighton and Hove regions, both today and in the future.”
