The fifth ever Lancashire Apprenticeship Awards took place at Blackpool Football Club on Thursday, May 7 2026.
The event was an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the hardworking individuals and organisations involved in apprenticeships and how they shape our future.
Not only did winning an award mean recognition for the apprentice, it was also a major morale boost for the company and workforce that supports the apprentice.
Guests enjoyed a formal sit down meal before the awards ceremony got underway, hosted by broadcaster and educator Neetal Parekh.
