Peterborough Apprenticeship Awards 2023: Our finalists are announced

The finalists have been announced for the Peterborough Telegraph Apprenticeship Awards 2023 that recognise and celebrate the hard work of our apprentices, their mentors and employers.

The awards, which are hosted by the Peterborough Telegraph, celebrate those who have excelled in their chosen fields and inspired others to consider embarking on an apprenticeship scheme.

All finalists across the 13 categories will be invited to attend a special awards ceremony on September 14 where the winners will be announced at a glittering ceremony at the Holiday Inn West Thorpe Wood, in Peterborough.

The finalists were selected by a panel of industry experts who this year were delighted to see a 100 per cent rise in the number of applicants from which to compile their shortlist of award nominations.

The Peterborough Apprenticeship Awards 2023 event is jointly sponsored. Thanks to our headline sponsor Compare the Market and Inspire Education Group, Anglia Ruskin University Peterborough, Baker Perkins, Diligenta, and Growth Works with Skills.
