After unveiling a plaque, The Duke was able to sample some delicious pastries made by the College's Catering students. Gail Walker, Principal of Brooklands College said: "Today was a very proud day for myself and all the staff and students at the Campus. The project took a few years to come together but I am pleased to say that we now have a first class facility to equal the quality teaching and learning that happens at the college every day."
Also during his visit to Surrey, The Duke visited Cara Technology, who manufacture products for the food and drinks industry, and train professional taste panels. The Duke took a tour of the site, including tasting some flavours for himself, before presenting the company with their Queen's Award for Enterprise and opening their new building, the Bluebird House Technology Centre.
