“We are committed to ensuring the firm is more representative of all levels of society and providing people with opportunities that previously might not have been available to them. This award recognises the incredible efforts of the many people within our firm who, since we started our social mobility journey in 2013, have helped shape where we are today. We are seeing the benefits of our ongoing efforts every day, through the increasing diversity of talent in our business and the new opportunities we are creating for our people.
Justin Rix, Partner and Head of People Advisory, said:
“We are excited to have our approach to apprenticeship levy advisory recognised as an important and innovative service for growing, dynamic mid-market businesses. Since 2016, Grant Thornton has supported over 2,000 organisations to help them understand changes to the Government’s apprenticeship policy, including the introduction of the apprenticeship levy.
“We have worked tirelessly to change the mindset from the levy being perceived as an additional tax to being seen as a strategic opportunity to support people’s development. The Apprenticeship Levy represents an untapped opportunity helping develop the workforce of the future and, in the context of Brexit, is now more relevant than ever.”
