\"Archie<\/p>\n

On Friday 10th<\/sup> November Archie Aston, our 18 year old Apprentice, won the Trade Apprentice of the Year Award at the British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF<\/a>) 2023 Apprenticeship Awards in London, beating off stiff competition from over 400 nominees, and was runner up in the overall Apprentice of the Year Award.<\/p>\n

Archie has worked as an Apprentice for us\u00a0since September 2022. He has cerebral palsy and despite the daily challenges it presents, doesn\u2019t let it his affect his performance at work \u2013 in his nomination for the prestigious national awards, our team described Archie as \u201ca character”, “resilient”, “motivated”, “immaculate”, “meticulous”, “dedicated”, “courageous”, “honest”, “loyal” and “happy”.<\/p>\n

The BPIF Apprenticeship Awards recognise and celebrate the hard work, dedication, and innovation that apprentices bring to their roles, and in winning Trade Apprentice of the Year, Archie was recognised for shining in the technical aspects of his trade, displaying both skill and innovation.<\/p>\n

Archie said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honour to win such a prestigious national award and I am very, very proud.\u00a0 I work hard and it\u2019s important to me to do a good job, so it\u2019s nice to have my effort\u00a7 rewarded like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Aston, our Managing Director, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cArchie\u2019s become a loved and valued member of our team since he joined us last year. He takes his work and his responsibility to his colleagues very seriously and has proved himself to be dependable and hard working – qualities we respect and are keen to nurture.\u00a0 We are all very proud of him and look forward to watching what he does next.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
