"We are delighted to be working with the number one FE College in the country on this innovative new venture in which the curriculum will be focused on the MedTech sector and environmental engineering - both key strengths of Anglia Ruskin University. Indeed we shall look forward to students coming on to our campus to use our stunning medical and engineering facilities."

"I am delighted that we have won this bid; many, many people have worked hard to make this happen. But it was thanks especially to two years of solid hard work from Robert Halfon MP, who has campaigned publically and behind the scenes, to bring a UTC to Harlow with all that it means for new jobs, apprenticeship training and the new opportunities for young people."

"The new UTC will have a strong focus on developing the skills needed for employment. This will considerably increase the job chances for young people in Harlow, Essex and the wider area."

"Harlow UTC is ideally placed at the Harlow College campus; it's easily accessible with excellent road and public transport links and there will be shared services with UTC students being able to take advantage of our excellent college facilities."

"For two years I have worked with Harlow College, Anglia Ruskin University and others to bring a high-tech vocational school to our town. This will mean millions of pounds of new investment for Harlow, for jobs, and regeneration. Adding to our schools, it will give local youngsters, aged 14 to 19, the chance to get high-tech skills and secure opportunities for the future."
