On Tuesday 10th December 2019, we attended the GBS Apprenticeships Gala Dinner and Awards Evening, hosted in the marvellous Casa Hotel in Chesterfield. This inaugural event was held to celebrate the achievements of apprentice’s enrolled with GBS - including our very own Digital Marketing Apprentice, Rian, who was up for two awards: the Social Media Ambassador Award and the Shining Star Exceeded Expectations Award.
We arrived to a red carpet reception, with time to meet and greet some of Rian’s fellow apprentices, and the people behind the scenes, including Penny and Steven Guard, who run GBS Apprenticeships. These guys have done some great work in supporting apprentices throughout the country, and helped us out greatly when we needed to transfer provider.
We then took our seats for the ceremony, which included some great talks on the future of apprenticeships in a fast-paced working world and how the job roles and responsibilities are ever-changing. Next up, it was time for the awards! While Rian didn’t scoop the trophies, we’re still super proud he was nominated in two categories and there to represent Infiniti Graphics on the night.
We can't thank GBS enough for the invite to their Gala Dinner & Awards Evening, as well as all the help and advice given from Iain Pickles, Rian’s workplace mentor, who has been amazing since we first met him with the previous apprenticeship provider.
Once again, huge congratulations to Rian for being nominated for these two awards!
