Award Winners!

We are thrilled to announce that the Penny Post Group are award winners and we have been crowned SME Apprentice Employer of the Year at the National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards for the West Midlands! This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to empowering our apprentices.

Last year, we were delighted to receive a Highly Commended award in the SME Apprentice Employer category, so to now be named the regional winner is an incredible achievement. The award marks our commitment to our apprentices and we couldn’t be proud to support younger people in the workplace.

The National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards, which celebrate their 21st anniversary in 2024, are designed to honour the exceptional contributions of both apprentices and the employers who support them. It’s a privilege to be recognized at the awards and we are immensely proud to be part of these celebrations, and to see our dedication to apprenticeship excellence acknowledged on this level.

Helen our Learning and Development Officer reflected on the awards ceremony and our tremendous win. “We are proud to employ apprentices, so receiving the award for SME Apprentice Employer of the Year for the West Midlands is really the icing on the cake. Since 2017 we have invested in the National Apprenticeship Programme and thrilled that all our apprentices who have completed their training have remained with us in full time employment.”.

But the excitement doesn’t stop here! As regional champions, we’ll be heading to London on 27th November, where we’ll join other finalists from across the country at the national finals. This is an exciting opportunity to share the stage with some of the most inspiring apprenticeship employers, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store. Stay tuned for updates on our journey to the national finals.
