5% Club’s 2024-25 Employer Audit Scheme: Silver membership status

We have been awarded Silver membership status in The 5% Club’s 2024-25 Employer Audit Scheme. This recognition reflects our dedication to investing in our people through ‘earn and learn’ programmes such as, apprenticeships, graduate schemes, and sponsored student placements.

We’re passionate about helping our colleagues grow and develop. This award highlights the success of our efforts, which include:

• 81 apprentices, including 46 internal colleagues engaged in upskilling apprenticeships
• 8 active graduate roles, with 3 graduates progressing to permanent roles
• 9 apprentices recruited in 2024, alongside 3 new graduate hires
• Since April 2023, 12 apprenticeships have been completed, and we expect 33 more to be completed by December 2025
• Looking ahead, 3 additional apprentices are set to begin in early 2025
