BRE has beaten off competition from hundreds of entrants to win at the Eastern Region National Apprenticeship Awards 2014 in the Newcomer Large Employer of the Year category.

The award winners were announced at a ceremony organised by the National Apprenticeship Service at the Cambridge Belfry Hotel, Cambourne last night. The award was collected by the Tara Bishop, Scheme Manager of our apprenticeship scheme.

BRE’s apprenticeship scheme was launched by BIS Minister Mark Prisk in May 2012. The organisation currently employs 22 apprentices  who work in a range of areas across the business.

The National Apprenticeship Awards, now in their eleventh year, celebrate the achievements of the country’s most outstanding apprentices and Apprenticeship employer.

Tara Bishop said 'Our apprentices have injected new life blood into our workforce. They are client facing, practical, professionals who are great ambassadors for our business. Their enthusiasm and energy has infused the people they work with. They are a fantastic asset to our business – I am very pleased that our organisations and our apprentices have been recognised in this way'.

BRE's Apprenticeship Scheme will now go on to compete at the National Awards in November.
