Suzanne played a key role in the development of the Durham Learning Alliance, a partnership between Durham University and four County Durham colleges to expand education opportunities for young people in our region.
With more than 20 years’ experience in the further education sector, Suzanne led East Durham College to three highly positive Ofsted inspections.
She oversaw transformational multi-million-pound investments in the college infrastructure, including the £13m Houghall campus, where students have access to state-of-the-art agriculture facilities.
Durham University was to honour Suzanne’s significant achievements with the award of an honorary degree at Winter Congregation in January 2025.
