Michelle's top award

A CULCHETH woman won a top award at a special ceremony involving staff at Oldham College and University Campus, Oldham.
Michelle Bradley (pictured) is manager of Salon 7 – the college’s hair and beauty salon in Oldham own centre.
As well as a certificate acknowledging her contribution to the college, she also won a £50 shopping voucher and a portrait of herself created by art and design students.
Students were represented on the judging panel which chose the award winners in eight categories.
Michelle has worked hard over the last three years to ensure the vision of Salon 7 as a new business model was successful in challenging times.
Staff achieved a 100 per cent success rate, with the majority gaining permanent employment within the industry.
Many local salons recruit staff from Salon 7 on a repeat basis.
A college spokesman said: “We acknowledged the fantastic input of all staff by hosting the staff awards at a special ceremony.”
