A FORMER Hereford student has scored a quadruple success at one of the world's top universities.

A glittering career now surely awaits Simon Middleton after picking up four major accolades at Christ's College, Cambridge.

Simon, who formerly attended Hereford Cathedral School, recently achieved a First Class Honours degree in Manufacturing Engineering.

He gained a Distinction in his fourth year Masters of Engineering degree (MEng), and won the Mike Lynch prize for best results for the second year running.

But his achievements were also recognised by the college, which made him an Honorary Bachelor Scholar of Christ's College following an impressive four year tenure.

Hereford-born Simon hopes his results will attract the attention of Formula 1 firms, which he follows with a passionate interest.
