Alan Boswell Group has been recognised by Norwich City College as winners of the ‘Overall contribution to apprentices and workplace learning’ award. The annual awards were hosted by the Principal at Norwich City College, Corrienne Peasgood, to recognise local businesses who are supporting apprentices through the College.
The event was run to coincide with National Apprenticeship week which celebrates apprenticeships and the positive impact they have on individuals, businesses and the wider economy. Director of Alan Boswell Insurance Brokers, Heath Alexander-Bew, said: “We are delighted to have won this award. It reflects the excellent opportunities our scheme provides and how important nurturing young talent is to the organisation. The enthusiasm of the apprentices is also key to the success of the scheme and adds a real positive vibe to the business.”
Also attending the awards were some of Alan Boswell Group’s current and previous apprentices; Jess Read, Lydia Warnes and Tom Cullum. Lydia said: “The evening was a lovely event celebrating apprentices in Norfolk. It was great to meet and speak to other apprentices and employers about their experiences and how their apprenticeship scheme differs to ours.”
Alan Boswell Group will shortly be advertising the opportunity for two new apprentices to join the award winning scheme which is now in its sixth year. The programme spans three years and allows the individual to gain experience across the business including commercial business, underwriting and claims. Apprentices work towards an NVQ and the Chartered Insurance Institute Certificate in partnership with City College Norwich. If you are interested in applying or would like further information about joining the scheme please contact Gillian Anderson Brown on 01603 218015 or [email protected]
