The BristolLive & BathLive Apprenticeship Awards are a celebration of the best and brightest young learners as well as the people who are helping them to succeed. The awards are your chance to give an outstanding apprentice a big pat on the back for their hard-earned achievements or thank a business for backing fresh talent. We want to hear from apprentices across Bristol and Bath as well as those offering apprenticeships. The awards will culminate in a glittering evening ceremony for all our finalists. Last year, the event brought together many incredible people from a varied selection of sectors, with the overall title of Apprentice of the Year going to Annemarie Benbow of Bristol City Council. Sarah Pullen, Commercial Director Regionals and Commercial Managing Director of Midlands & West, Reach plc, said: “These awards are really important to us. They celebrate the achievements of apprentices across such a wide range of businesses, trades and professions. “They highlight the depth of talent and skill in Bristol and Bath. “Many companies realise that the best way to meet their skills needs is to train more apprentices. “I think we can all agree the South West is thriving at the moment, but the only way to guarantee future growth is to ensure that future leaders are skilled and ready to take on the challenge.” The BristolLive & BathLive Apprenticeship Awards 2019 take place on Thursday 23rd May 2019 at Ashton Gate Stadium.
