The glittering Themis Inspire and Achieve Awards 2025 have taken place, celebrating the success, the passion and the innovation of Themis Apprentices and leading employers in Lancashire.
The prestigious ceremony was held at Burnley Football Club and saw Themis Apprentices and Employers winning trophies in categories including the Digital Award, the Childcare and Teaching Award and the Employer of the Year award.
The event is generously sponsored by Construction EPA Company, a leading provider of End Point Assessments for Construction Apprentices and EAL, part of the Enginuity Group who sponsored the manufacture of the physical awards.
Some 200 nominees, their family and friends, distinguished guests and proud employers attended the spectacular event.
Guests and nominees heard from Carole Garrett BEM, Burnley business pioneer and winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, Burnley Business Awards. She shared her story of how she used her resilience to rise through the aerospace industry.
Karen Buchanan, Chief Executive of Themis, the Apprenticeship Training Arm of Burnley College, said:
“The Themis Inspire and Achieve Awards are a highlight in the Apprenticeship calendar and it was an honour to recognise those amazing Apprentices and Employers in the fabulous surroundings of Turf Moor.
“Competition this year was tougher than ever, with a record number of nominees and shortlisted finalists. It made the judges’ job of choosing the winners incredibly difficult.
“Themis is proud of its track record in supporting the development of the very best Apprentices in the region – the Apprentices who go on to be a #futureboss and who make an incredible impact in the workplace.
“Thanks to their dedication – and the commitment of the forward-thinking employers who support our Themis Apprentices on their journey to success – we can be confident that industry in the region is in the safest of hands going forward.
“We would really like to thank everyone whose hard work has made this event possible, and particularly are generous sponsors.”
