Apprentice of the Year Level 3-4 2023
'I believe winning the award has given me the recognition that I never really knew I deserved. It also gave me confidence within my workplace, many senior figures that I thought I would never talk to in my day-to-day life now give me acknowledgment and recognition for my accomplishments.'
Sidney Hargreaves, HDR
Apprentice of the Year Level 5-7 2023
'There is no downside to entering a submission for the award, even if you don't get shortlisted, you get an opportunity to improve your presentation skills, and if you do get shortlisted, it's an exciting new opportunity to attend the awards night.'
