You can view the categories and submit your nominations below

One to Watch

For an apprentice who has shown exceptional potential, enthusiasm, and rapid development early in their programme. These are the individuals who stand out right from the start – eager to learn, quick to grow, and already making an impact. It might be someone who, within their first few months, has taken on additional responsibilities, shown real initiative, and impressed colleagues with their skills and attitude.
