Calum Wright

Head of Curriculum - Construction and Technical Services

I attended Carlisle College to study Painting and Decorating in 1998 when I was 16 years old. I then worked for 20 years in the industry before I decided to get my teaching qualification and return to where it all started. It's very rewarding to be able to pass on my knowledge and inspire the next generation.
