National Apprenticeship Week
10th February, 2023
The National Apprenticeship Week is an annual celebration of apprenticeships in the UK. It gives us the perfect opportunity to show our appreciation for the valuable contributions of our apprentices, and to highlight the many benefits of vocational education and training.
At Durham Lifting, we are fortunate to have a dedicated and hardworking Sales Administrator apprentice in Olivia Gardiner. Throughout the week-long event, we took the time to acknowledge Olivia’s efforts and express our gratitude for her dedication and commitment to the team.
Olivia’s participation in the National Apprenticeship Week was not only an opportunity for us to thank her, but it was also an occasion for her to learn and grow. She took full advantage of the various training and development opportunities available, which will undoubtedly benefit her career in the long run.
One notable highlight of the week was the SpanSet Ltd open day, where Olivia had the chance to interact with customers and suppliers. Her professionalism, enthusiasm, and exceptional customer service skills left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered.
We are proud to have Olivia as part of our team, and we appreciate all the hard work she has put in. She is a shining example of the value and importance of apprenticeships, and we look forward to supporting her as she continues to develop and excel in her role.
