History in the making

Tuesday, 11 March 2014

David Jones, the Training, Scheduling & Co-ordination Manager at CPL Training has completed his Masters in History.

David received his good news from the Open University and he has been awarded a Pass with Merit in his Masters. His final dissertation was a study on the development of bell-ringing in Wirral between 1880 and 1915, investigating the impact of the so-called 'Belfry Reform' movement and links to wider religious trends.

Bell-ringing is David's hobby outside of work, so to write the dissertation on a topic that he enjoys was a pleasurable affair. David said: "I had been thinking of doing a Masters since finishing my undergraduate degree back in 2003. Although History was only 50% of my first degree, it was the part that interested me most. I have always enjoyed pushing myself mentally so I thought it was a good time to do it."

The study of History has also been beneficial to David's role within the company as it has improved his analytical and critical thinking skills.

Everyone in CPL congratulates David on his achievement and wishes him all the best with his future studies.
