Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employer

22 Nov 2024

We're delighted to announce that we've made it to position 24 out of 50 employers at the Top 50 SME Apprenticeship employers.

First compiled in 2020, the prestigious annual employer rankings have been developed by the Department of Education, in partnership with High Fliers Research, who independently assess and rank the nation’s top apprenticeship employers. The Top Apprenticeship SME Employer category assesses employers who have up to 249 employees on several different criteria, including;

  • The number of apprentices who started an apprenticeship in the last 12 months, at all levels from 2 to 7.
  • The diversity of the apprentices who began new apprenticeships in the past year.
  • How many apprentices successfully achieved an apprenticeship in the last 12 months, completing all the requirements and passing the End-Point Assessment (EPA).

The Conveyancing industry has seen a huge recruitment challenge since COVID in 2020, which has led to a large number of people leave the industry, which led to us exploring the Apprenticeship route. This award reflects and celebrates the hard work and investment we have put into our recruitment, growth and development strategy over the past 12-18 months and the staff employed through this recruitment drive are already having a huge impact on the business.

 

CEO Kevin Tunnicliffe commented: “I am delighted to hear Sort Legal has been awarded 24 in the Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employers of 2023. This is a huge accolade and one we are proud of. At Sort Legal, we are keen to develop and train and provide our employees with not only a job, but a career to be proud of. This award celebrates the effort everyone has put into our recruitment strategy so far.”
