Congratulations to Karon Van der Heiden, Early Careers Partner, who has been presented with the Services to Education Award by Choice Training at their annual Apprenticeship Awards.
Karon has worked as part of our Early Careers teams for over 12 years, helping to guide our apprentices through their apprenticeship journey, supporting and advising line managers, and playing a key role in nurturing future talent during her time with NG Bailey.
She has been a vital Governor for Choice Training, working closely with the team since 2021.

These insights are instrumental in driving us into our next phase of apprenticeship delivery. “Furthermore, the support she offers to both NG Bailey and all other Choice Training apprentices is second to none. That is why we are proud to present Karon with this year's Services to Education Award.”
