The finalists have been announced for the Excellence in Business Training Awards 2018.
The winners of the awards, which are organised by CCB Training (Cornwall College Business), will be revealed at a lavish ceremony at The Eden Project on January 26.
CCB’s Sally Foard, said: “We were absolutely amazed by the number of applications this year. We had a record number of applications for our Apprentice of the Year 19+ category, so much so that we divided this category into two; Skills Apprentice and Professional Apprentice.
“I’d like to thank all the companies from across the south west who took the time to submit nominations. We would also like to thank our judges who had a tough decision, as everyone who applied deserves recognition for their commitment to training.”
Tickets for the awards ceremony, which will include a three-course meal, can now be purchased for £60 +vat each, by calling 0800 731 7594 or by emailing hello@ccbtraining.co.uk.
