In 1990 Mr David Kendall was appointed as Director of the College following Mr Jim Kendall’s retirement.
During David Kendall’s time at Derwen student numbers increased, and the college expanded.
David established Derwen Enterprises, a programme of work experience and supported residential development for young people with disabilities.
Derwen College developed customer facing outlets moving away from the workshop style of work experience.
Through fundraising activities, grants from numerous benefactors and legacies Derwen saw a rapid increase in facilities available on campus.
