Finalists of Sheffield City Region Apprenticeship awards announced

This year marks the fourth JPIMedia annual event, celebrating hardworking individuals and organisations involved in apprenticeships.

Not only does winning an award mean recognition for the Apprentice, but it's also a major morale boost for the company and workforce that support them.

The award winners will be announced at an awards ceremony taking place on Thursday, September 23, at the Hilton Garden Inn, Doncaster Racecourse.

Guests will be invited to arrive for our drinks reception at 6.45 pm, where we will serve canapes allowing you plenty of time to network, followed by a two-course meal as well the awards themselves, which promise to have you on your feet as we celebrate the apprenticeship stars of the Sheffield City Region.

Tickets to attend the event are now available, priced at £40 per individual ticket plus VAT and booking fees (Table seating capacity is 10)

The hotel has kindly reserved some rooms for guests to book if you would like to book a room for the night of the event.

Rooms are priced at £75 - this rate includes breakfast, car parking and VAT at the prevailing rate.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at www.eventbrite.co.uk
