We are delighted to have been shortlisted in the category of Apprenticeship, in The Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business Awards, 2018. This company Apprenticeship nomination comes in the same year that one of Bagnalls' Apprentices, Adam Knowles, was named winner of the FBU (Family Business United) Apprentice of the Year Award.
Bagnalls has a bespoke training facility in Doncaster where apprentices from all of the company's branches attend throughout their apprenticeship. They receive personal tuition from a time-served craft painter who designs tasks and projects for the apprentices to complete, in real-life conditions and to determined timescales. Over time these challenges increase in complexity as the apprentices progress from NVQ Level 2 to NVQ Level 3 in painting and decorating.
The awards evening takes place at The National Railway Museum on Thursday, 1st November, a black tie event, hosted by Financial Journalist and TV presenter at BBC Breakfast and Watchdog, Steph McGovern.
