Award Winning Local Student

A local student at the University of Aberdeen has beaten off strong competition to win a top prize. Olayemi Oyeyemi recently completed his final year and won the university’s Best Dissertation Award, sponsored by the leading specialist recruitment consultancy, Hays Energy.

The purpose of the award is to promote, recognise and reward excellence in this field. Hays Energy recently attended a prize-giving ceremony at the University to present a cheque and framed certificate to the proud student.

Dionne Winter at Hays Energy says: “This award is a small step toward rewarding the next generation for their hard work. We are proud to support students pursuing a career in Energy and would strongly encourage these students to explore the many employment opportunities that exist locally.”
