At a ceremony held in London on 17th October, Napier Partnership Limited, was awarded Highly Commended in the category of SME newcomer for the South East of England at the National Apprenticeship Awards 2016. Napier are huge advocates of hiring apprentices, having supported three students so far, and two of these have chosen to continue working at Napier.
With an award winning apprentice already as part of the team, Napier’s Managing Director Mike Maynard spoke about the commendation saying, “We were overwhelmed at being Highly Commended in the Regional Apprenticeship Awards. We first employed an apprentice about two years ago because we were looking for young talent to build our team. Receiving this award is fantastic, as it confirms our belief in supporting and employing apprentices and it proves that they are a valuable asset in helping businesses grow. The timing of this award couldn’t have been better as we are welcoming another apprentice to the Napier team this month.”
Sue Husband, Director of the National Apprenticeship Service said, “The National Apprenticeship Awards enable exceptional apprentices and dedicated employers to receive the recognition they richly deserve. Apprenticeships enable people to gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed – in some cases up to degree level; and for businesses to grow the talent they need.”
