LEEDS, U.K. - TelAve -- Carly Sidebottom joins LCB in the new role following her position as Director of Business Strategy & Compliance at regional training provider, Total Training Provision. Prior to that, Carly served as Head of Adult Skills at Ixion Training (part of Shaw Trust).

The newly created post at LCB will support the college's continued growth. With significant investment in its estates, a rebrand, and expanded curriculum - including higher education, apprenticeship provision, and study programmes - the college is strengthening its profile with employers and attracting increasing numbers of learners into construction careers.

Carly currently serves on several education- and employment-related boards, including as a trustee at SAMEE Charity, a board director at the Institute of Employability Professionals (IEP), and a governor at TEC Partnership. She said:

"I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining such a dynamic and respected college at the heart of the construction and built environment sector. LCB's outstanding reputation, supportive team, and strong legacy across West Yorkshire made it an easy decision for me."
