RNN Group becomes a Patron of the Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber

The RNN Group are proud to have become a Patron of Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce.

With an income of over £50m each year, the RNN Group combines the expertise and experience of three colleges and five training organisations.

The chamber’s relationship with the RNN Group has progressed further over the recent years, with the RNN Group supporting the 2016 Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards as Headline sponsor, as well as the most recent decision to develop the relationship further by joining the Chamber’s Patronage offering.

Phil Sayles, Deputy Principal at RNN Group, said,

“Being a Patron will deepen the RNN Group’s links with the Chamber and employers across Barnsley and Rotherham.”

The move comes as the RNN Group has expanded through a merger which brought Dearne Valley College into the Group, alongside both Rotherham and North Notts Colleges. The Group is also about to start building the new university-level centre on Doncaster Gate in the centre of Rotherham, a move that will see extensive engagement with employers in the design and delivery of curriculum, including degree Apprenticeships.

Andrew Denniff, Chief Executive of the Chamber, said,

“We have been working very closely with the RNN Group over the past year and we are very much looking forward to developing the relationship further to support the Group to engage as widely as possible with the regions’ employers.”
