Celebrating National Apprenticeship Week 2021
Find out about our apprenticeship opportunitiesWe’ve wrapped up this year’s exciting National Apprenticeship Week.
Here are some of the ways we celebrated!
To kick things off, we hosted a celebration event for all 780 of our UK wide apprentices. Joined by our senior leadership team who congratulated them on their contribution to the firm. We also discussed, over an open forum, how we’ve been adapting to change and new ways of working over the past year.
We held an awards ceremony, highlighting our apprentice success stories. We were joined by celebrity guest speaker, Locksmith, who talked about his experiences in Rudimental and Celebrity SAS - Who Dares Wins and his belief in hard work and resilience.

- Supporting outreach to local schools and colleges to inspire those looking into their future career options
