Lancashire’s Apprenticeship Awards Evening showcased some of the very best talent from across the region, including Runshaw’s very own apprentices.
The event, in partnership with BAE Systems, was held at Preston North End Football Stadium, and included a sparkling wine reception, three-course meal, a charity raffle and entertainment, in front of a host of special guests including BBC Presenter Mike Stephens and Lancashire Evening Post editor Nicola Adam.
We were thrilled to have ten apprentices shortlisted, eight of who were in attendance, including our partner employer Tilemaster. Anna Worden was also nominated for Mentor of the year.
Ella Makepeace won the award for intermediate apprentice of the year, Anna Worden won Mentor of the Year and Ben Collinge from Runshaw’s Service Desk Team won Technology and Digital Apprentice of the Year – sadly, Ben could not attend so Runshaw’s Mike Parkinson collected the award on his behalf.
