This award celebrates businesses that go above and beyond in supporting vocational education, work experience, and apprenticeships.

We were especially touched by the words of EKC Canterbury College’s Industry Liaison Officer, who said:

“Sadie and the team at Heathfield provide a supportive and nurturing environment which enables students to thrive and develop their skills and knowledge. Management and staff are responsive to students’ needs and provide opportunities for students to enhance their learning and relate theory to practice.”

Those words mean everything to us. A huge thank you to EKC Canterbury College, to our incredible team, and to every apprentice and student who has been part of our journey. This one is for all of you!
