CENTRE Park based Optionis has launched a fresh apprentice recruitment drive, after one of its trainees scooped an award.
The professional services group is looking to hire a further 10 apprentices in its payroll and accounts departments following the success of 23-year-old trainee Lewis Haworth, who won in the apprentice of the year category at the Warrington Business Awards.
Lewis, who was nominated after triumphing in Optionis’ internal apprentice contest earlier this year, received his award in front of 500 guests at Lymm Rugby Club in Cheshire.
He said: “I’m really chuffed to have won – I still can’t really believe it. Just being nominated was great.
“Looking to the future I would like to develop my skills, complete my accounting qualifications and rise through the ranks here at Optionis.
“My advice to other young people thinking of doing an apprenticeship is to go for it, and give it everything you’ve got.”
Derek Kelly, group managing director at Optionis, said: “We’re all extremely proud of Lewis. His achievements demonstrate the value that our apprentices bring to our business.”
Optionis was recently named as one of England’s top 100 apprentice employers.
The group’s apprentices work towards recognised academic qualifications, undergo regular assessments and are expected to contribute to hitting their department’s overall targets.
They are entitled to the same benefits and perks as all other employees, such as free parking and gym membership.
