Billingham-based company, Geoffrey Robinson Ltd, has been named as an award winner in the JTL Employer Recognition Awards.
JTL, one of the leading apprenticeship providers in the building services engineering sector in England and Wales, runs the JTL Employer Recognition Awards on an annual basis to acknowledge employers that have shown remarkable levels of support and commitment towards their JTL apprentices.
Neal Robinson and Jim Smithson, representatives for Geoffrey Robinson Ltd, were presented with a trophy by John Cramphorn, JTL’s Head of Learner Assessment for the northern region, at the company’s offices in Billingham. Geoffrey Robinson was nominated by JTL Training Officer, Geoff Rogan, for the outstanding care and consideration the employer provides for its apprentices.
Geoffrey Robinson Ltd has been named amongst four other award winners, that were each regarded for a level of consistency and merit that had them stand out amongst JTL’s considerably large employer base.
JTL Training Officer, Geoff Rogan, commented: “This employer has a real family ethos and provides a safe, supportive environment for apprentices to develop their skills and knowledge, as well as grow in confidence.
“The company is fully inclusive and employs learners from all kinds of backgrounds as they continue to invest in young people. I really appreciate how they offered full access when it came to apprentices and site visits, and they showed a genuine interest when it came to their apprentices’ progression.”
Jim Smithson, delighted with the news, added: “I was really pleased to learn that we had been chosen as a JTL Employer Recognition Award winner. I’m particularly grateful for the recognition as we’ve worked incredibly hard here to ensure our apprentices are a top priority, and I know we’d all like to give a special thanks to Geoff Rogan for nominating us.”
