This year's outstanding North West Apprenticeship Awards finalists have been selected

The North West Apprenticeship Awards are underway for 2023, and this year’s shortlist of outstanding finalists has been decided. The awards, hosted by Ben Hanlin, will be held on Thursday February 9th - for more information, or to get tickets visit northwestapprenticeshipawards.co.uk - tickets are £49.

The awards celebrate the apprenticeships of the North West - both the enterprising learners who help bring new and unique ideas to the region’s business community, and the providers dedicated to offering excellent opportunities to learn.

We sought nominations for 10 categories, representing a range of industries and ways that people across the North West have contributed to apprenticeships. Every year we look for the best of the best, and we weren't disappointed.

These apprentices and providers help create the future of business in the northwest - and this year’s finalists are an exceptional group that has gone above and beyond to achieve incredible results over the last year.
