Head of School for Construction, South Thames College.

Lou Haughton is Head of School for Construction at South Thames College. His career at South Thames College began in November 1985 as a visiting lecturer in the Engineering Department.

In 1988 Lou took over responsibility for the coordination of the School Links and Bridging provision ensuring a rich introductory programme in engineering and construction subjects for 14 – 16 year old learners.

In 1996 he was promoted to the position of Section Head for motor vehicles and general engineering; a significant element of which involved liaising with and advising employers on training matters. This involvement has since widened in Lou’s current role as Head of School for Construction.

In these very exciting and challenging times Lou has represented the college on the Battersea Power Station committee and most recently as a member of the Civil Engineering Consortium.
