We’re delighted to share that we have won the Staff Development Award at the BIFA Awards — a fantastic recognition of our commitment to investing in our people.

Winning this award is a proud moment for our entire business. At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: when our people grow, our business grows. This recognition reflects the dedication, structure, and passion behind our approach to learning, development, and progression.

Putting People First

From apprenticeships and structured training pathways to leadership development and continuous professional learning, we’re committed to creating clear opportunities for growth at every stage of someone’s career.

Our HR team has worked tirelessly to build and support initiatives that empower individuals, strengthen teams, and create long-term career pathways. This award is a testament to their hard work and the engagement of our wider team, who fully embrace development opportunities.

Supporting Future Talent

We’re particularly proud of the role apprenticeships play in our organisation. Developing future talent, supporting new starters, and creating an environment where people feel supported to learn and progress is something we’re deeply passionate about.

To see that commitment recognised on a respected industry stage makes this achievement even more meaningful.

A Team Effort

While the award may have our name on it, it belongs to everyone across the business. Every manager who mentors, every colleague who shares knowledge, and every team member who commits to their own growth has contributed to this success.

We’d like to thank BIFA for hosting such a fantastic event and congratulations to all the other finalists and winners on the night.

We’re incredibly proud — and even more motivated to continue building an environment where our people can thrive.

Here’s to continued growth, development, and success together.
