Paul Sayers, executive director strategy and partnerships at EKC Group said: “Across east Kent, and the whole of the UK, more and more employers are reaping the benefits apprentices can bring to their business.

"In turn, by supporting apprenticeships, those employers are helping transform lives, giving today’s young people greater opportunities to build the skills and experience they need to grow and develop.

"It’s wonderful to be able to celebrate that during this year’s National Apprenticeships Week, and we’re very proud to be supporting the first ever East Kent Apprenticeship Awards.”
