Jeremy鈥檚 first class career move

Jeremy Alderson has managed to juggle a full-time job with a full-time degree.

The juggling act has paid off with Jeremy achieving a First Class degree at the University of 海角直播 and the 海角直播 Science Award. He will receive both at his graduation today. Jeremy, 40, from New Marske, has worked for DupontSASA (formerly ICI) for 23 years. Based at the Wilton chemical processing site, the firm creates Melinar 鈥� an important chemical used to in plastic bottles. Beginning his working life as a plant operator, Jeremy has progressed to a Chemical Engineer. For the last three years he has also studied for BEng (Hons) Computer Aided Chemical Engineering degree.

Jeremy said: 鈥淚 was offered the chance to do the course by one of the managers here, and I jumped at it. DupontSA sponsored me through the course while I worked on a flexi-time basis. It meant I could go to lectures but I did have to make up the hours. It was very hard at times, but if you want it enough, you can do it. But I鈥檒l admit that I鈥檓 relived it鈥檚 all over now!

鈥淚t鈥檚 been a very good career move for me. I鈥檓 now involved in plant design, fault finding and ensuring that the piping and pump systems all work correctly.鈥�

Jeremy is married to Toni, a nurse and has two children, Gary, 21 a plumber, and Samantha, 18, a hairdresser.
