Apprenticeships Success Stories

Going Places

Fylde teenager Lauren Dudley is celebrating after being named ‘Employee of the Month’ at Book2Go Travel, based in Westby, near Lytham.

Lauren, 17, is a Beneast Apprentice, and had only been with the company a few months when she won the award.

It was Book2Go Travel’s first ever Employee of the Month award, and Lauren’s success was even more remarkable when you consider she was up against competition from more than 100 of her colleagues, all striving to win the award – and the £100 cash prize that goes with it.

No doubt, the triumph has lent Lauren wings in her new career in the travel industry.

Work on the Books

Warehouse operative Jordan Cottam has been working at Holt Jackson Book Services Ltd, a leading supplier of library books, for three years. He’s spent the last 12 months completing his Apprenticeship in Warehouse & Distribution.

Jordan’s qualification is tailor-made for his job in the department and provides the knowledge and understanding for him to do his job competently.

Jordan went to Carr Hill School in Kirkham and, as he admits, was happy to start work as soon as possible on leaving. The apprenticeship gives him a way to get workplace qualifications, useful experience – and a wage at the same time.

Jordan will be getting an NVQ Level 2 in Warehouse & Distribution, Key Skills Level 1 in Communication and Application of Number and Key Skills Level 2 in Improving Own Learning and Working with Others.
