Celebrating Our Achievement: Placing in the Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers 2024 Rankings

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with our community. Our company has been recognised in the prestigious Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers for 2024, securing the 21st position on this highly esteemed list. This recognition highlights our unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of accountants through our robust apprenticeship schemes.


A Prestigious Recognition

The Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers rankings, announced on Thursday, 25th July during a special live broadcast, celebrate England’s outstanding apprenticeship employers. These rankings, developed by the Department for Education in partnership with High Fliers Research, recognise employers for their dedication to creating new apprenticeship opportunities, promoting diversity among apprentices, and ensuring successful completion rates.

 

Our Commitment to Apprenticeships

For over 50 years, we have been dedicated to training and developing future accountants. Our apprenticeship schemes are designed to provide a solid foundation in accountancy while allowing apprentices to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. This hands-on approach not only equips our apprentices with the skills they need to succeed but also enhances their learning experience, making it both practical and impactful.

Julie Young, our Managing Director, expressed her delight at this recognition, stating, “We firmly believe that apprenticeships offer our team the ideal foundation for mastering the underlying principles of accountancy whilst applying them effectively in their daily work. Our commitment to recruiting individuals who want to learn this way each year has been unwavering, and it consistently brings out the best in our team. This recognition is cause for celebration.”

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this achievement, we are also looking forward to the future. We are excited to welcome and introduce our next cohort of apprentices after the summer. Each year, our new apprentices bring fresh perspectives and energy, contributing to the continuous growth and success of our team.

Join Us in Celebrating

We invite our community, partners, and clients to join us in celebrating this significant milestone. Our success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and we are proud to be recognised as one of the top apprenticeship employers in the country.

Stay tuned for more updates and stories about our apprenticeship program and the incredible journey of our apprentices. Together, we are shaping the future of accountancy, one apprenticeship at a time.
