A Sutton company has been named an outstanding employer for its work with apprentices.

Nice UK was praised at Vision West Nottinghamshire College’s apprenticeship celebration at the House of Lords, which recognised both apprentices and employers.

Nice was invited to attend following the success of Kay Jay Rose, who was named apprentice of the year by the college.

The event was attended by officials from education and politics, including skills minister Anne Milton MP and Dame Asha Khemka DBE, the principal of West Nottinghamshire College.

The outstanding employer award recognised Nice UK’s commitment to the employment and development of apprentices.

Many employees began their time at Nice through the apprenticeship scheme.

West Nottinghamshire College recognised in their event programme: “Nice UK have invested a great deal of time, energy and belief in their apprentices, to develop their next generation workforce… the apprentices are coached and supported by their colleagues, and are rewarded with trust and responsibility as they develop.”
