East Midlands skills champion reaches national final

Former apprentice Charlie Gresswell will represent the East Midlands in the grand final of the National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards in London later this month (27th November).

Charlie, who is 23 and works in the food industry, was crowned East Midlands Skills Champion in the regional heat of the awards in October.

The regional award is in recognition of her outstanding work to promote apprenticeships. Charlie is the Apprentice Chair of the East Midlands Apprenticeship Ambassador Network (EMAAN).

“It was fantastic to win the regional award and I’m really looking forward to representing the East Midlands at the national awards, which will be a very special occasion,” said Charlie.

The Employer Chair of EMAAN, Charlotte Nicholls, said: “Charlie is an excellent advocate for apprenticeships. She proactively goes above and beyond her normal duties to promote the benefits of apprenticeships and skills. Her passion inspires others.”

Charlie works for SGS as a Technical Assistant in the Food & Nutrition team. Previously, she completed a three-year Technical degree apprenticeship course with Samworth Brothers and Sheffield Hallam University.

Her role as Apprentice Chair of EMAAN includes supporting a number of apprenticeship ambassadors, organising/hosting meetings, running projects and helping to ensure the smooth running of the network.

“I was originally inspired to find out more about apprenticeships after an ambassador came to my school to explain the benefits and what was involved,” said Charlie.

“It feels great to now give something back and help to champion apprenticeships so other people can reap the benefits too. To receive this recognition is amazing and I hope I can make the East Midlands network proud in the national final.”
