I am thrilled to share that I have recently been awarded the Post Apprenticeship Recognition Scheme (PARS), marking the successful completion of my Operations and Departmental Manager Level 5 Apprenticeship.

From mastering strategic decision-making to refining my leadership capabilities, this apprenticeship has been a transformative experience. It has allowed me to grow not just as a manager, but as a leader who can inspire and drive success within my organisation. Earning the PARS is a testament to the hard work and dedication I have invested in this journey.

This award is more than just recognition; it symbolises my commitment to continuous learning and professional development. The post-nominals "CHA" (Certification of Higher Apprenticeship) that now accompany my name are a proud reminder of this achievement and the doors it has opened for my future endeavours.I am deeply grateful to all who supported me throughout this journey—my mentors, colleagues, and everyone who encouraged me to keep pushing forward.
