MP praises BPW Billericay and Students

Last night John Baron MP handed out awards to students during the presentation ceremony of the Business and Professional Women (BPW), Billericay. The ceremony took place at Billericay School. The awards are given each year from a trust set up in the name of Molly Perry to girls from the Billericay School going on to study science, medicine or engineering at university. Mrs Sylvia Kent was guest speaker, and described how she came to become a successful author. Events were presided over by Jean England (President of the club) and Sylvia Hathaway (Trustee of the Molly Perry Award).

John said,

“Once again, my thanks go to the whole team at BPW Billericay for their initiative and dedication in organising these valued annual Molly Perry awards. Congratulations also to the students on their awards, and we wish them well for the future.”
