The awards ceremony was the evening before we went on holiday so sorry for the lack of update Apparently the judges found it hard going to choose between me and the other girl in my category, so ended up giving me "highly commended" and she was the eventual winner - nice to be recognised as usually it's a case of winner or nothing. Got a nice certificate and was urged to enter again next year

Bit disappointed not to have won, but to be highly commended (so a very close 2nd) for the whole of the South West of the UK is pretty good Also found out while I was away that my business won its category in the Bath & Bristol Apprenticeship Awards - we were recognised for 7 years of commitment to offering apprenticeship placements in partnership with Bath College Again, a nice certificate and trophy :
