Bagnalls Bucks Apprenticeship Trend

National Apprenticeship Week is fast approaching – running from 10th–14th February, it’s a time to celebrate apprentices and their contribution to businesses across the UK.

Statistics published during last year’s National Apprenticeship Week revealed a growth in the number of people undertaking higher apprenticeships, with starts increasing by 6.2%.

Advanced apprenticeships are also extremely popular, accounting for almost 44% of all apprenticeship starts.

With the majority of apprenticeships in recent years taken on by people aged 25 and up, it’s clear that the idea of apprenticeships only being relevant for those just leaving school is shifting to include a wider range of applicants.

However, annual spending on Level 2 apprenticeships has dropped by over £200 million in recent years.

Bucking The Trend

One business that is bucking the trend when it comes to these figures is national painting and decorating company Bagnalls, taking on over 70 new Level 2 entrants during the last two years.

The company has also been nominated no less than three times at this year’s Apprenticeship and Training Awards. During National Apprenticeship Week, Bagnalls’ Group Marketing Director, Joanne Gualda, will be joined by HR Director Ellie Jobes and Group Academy Tutor Joel Mortlock at the Houses of Parliament in recognition of the company’s nominations. The three Bagnalls representatives will enjoy an event hosted by Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP.
