Honoured to receive a Princess Royal Training Award

​We’re pleased to announce that we have been awarded a Princess Royal Training Award for our outstanding Early Careers and Apprenticeship programmes, which have been created to develop the behaviours, skills, knowledge, and experience needed to build a successful career.

The Princess Royal awards honour employers who have created outstanding training and skills development programmes which have resulted in exceptional benefits. They are also supported by HRH The Princess Royal, who is a keen advocate of skills development.

Sharon Whitehead, Group Head of Learning & Development, commented: “This award is one of the highest national recognitions for employers who deliver training that creates real, measurable impact – and it reflects the hard work, creativity, and commitment of our Early Careers, Apprenticeship, and Learning & Development teams.

“Together, we’ve built programmes that not only develop technical skills and confidence, but also open doors for the next generation of talent to grow, succeed, and build their careers with us.

“To have our work recognised at this level is a huge achievement. It’s proof that when we invest in people at the very start of their career journey, we shape futures, strengthen our business, and contribute to our industry’s long-term success.”
