Hear what Sam King, CEO, had to say about this amazing achievement
“I am incredibly proud of Tops achievement in attaining the 9th place this year in the apprenticeship employer of the year awards. It’s amazing to rank so highly alongside some major organisations! Aspire plays a huge role in supporting and teaching our Tops apprentices and it is also a real tribute to the colleagues who support and mentor our apprentices, as well as our dedicated apprentices themselves. Even though coming 12th last year was a huge achievement, we have managed to better it. Congratulations Tops and Aspire”.

Through our partnership with Aspire Training Team, we ensure that apprentices receive thorough training tailored to their specific career goals. This collaborative approach provides a well-rounded education, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their roles.
Furthermore, ranking 9th in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers firmly establishes us as a leader in providing quality apprenticeships. Therefore, we remain committed to nurturing talent, supporting personal and professional development, and providing a platform for individuals to thrive in the childcare and education industry.
