Celebrating success
Our most talented apprentices were recognised during a virtual ‘Training Providers Top Apprentice Award’ and ‘Most Supportive Person’ event during February’s National Apprenticeship Week. Awarded ‘Top Apprentice’ were Joshua Heaton from Gills Top - Grassington, Ben Spacagna at Orchard Gardens - Bishopstoke Park, Matthew Meli from the Customer Centre and Mehvish Khan in the Assets Business Intelligence team. There’ll be more opportunities to celebrate our apprentices’ endeavours, with nominations opening soon for our own Apprenticeship of the Year awards, which include a Rising Star of the Year award.
More success, at the GBCA Congratulations to all our finalists at the Great British Care Awards, and to Keshia McDonald, Team Leader at Harden Hall in Walsall (with Jane Ashcroft below) who won the Dementia Carers Award and Lucy Openshaw, Deputy Manager at Upton Grange on The Wirral (with District Manager Carrie Browne below) for winning The Care Assessor/Care Planner Award.
Aiming for the top With our apprenticeship programme having such great results, we’re aiming for it to be nationally recognised too, by applying for inclusion in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers annual ranking of England’s outstanding apprenticeship employers.
Resolve 100 Over 170 business cases were submitted for consideration to be addressed as part of Resolve 100 - our programme to enable colleagues to work together to resolve long-running, difficult property issues having a direct, negative impact on our residents. 59 of these, e.g. external grounds, bin/bicycle storage and space and layout improvements, have now been
approved to progress to the delivery phase. It’s good news for housing residents, who won’t have to pay for the works through their service charge. Some of the more complex and costly cases submitted, e.g. car parks, mobility scooters and local manager offices, are being discussed and considered further. Look out for updates as issues start being resolved and we advertise opportunities to make new submissions later this year.
we get into the swing of it, we can achieve more together. As we head into a new financial year, I think the many things we’re doing and you can read more about in this issue of arch , will help us keep up with the competition and meet the growing needs and expectations of our residents.
