XPO’s recent inaugural apprenticeship awards honoured apprentices that went “above and beyond” in their work for the logistics company.

The company presented the awards at a ceremony at the Staverton Park Hotel in Daventry on 24 October, which saw Jack Jarvis taking the Providers Choice Award.

This category resulted from a nomination by providers and HR Business Partners.

Other recognitions included Shining Star - given to James Yarrow; Early Bird Award – presented to Amy Roberts, who finished her apprenticeship in record time and Outstanding Result – given to Loredana Ionita, who worked hard to achieve what XPO said were “extraordinary results” in her written assignments.

Its apprentice awards capped off a series of events that took place from the morning into the early afternoon and included two guest speakers, a quiz and picture challenge, and messages of appreciation from XPO to the apprentices gathered on the day.

Lynn Brown, VP – human resources – UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said: “We want to congratulate all our 51 apprentices, especially our award winners who have already made outstanding contributions to the business.

“These individuals have gone above and beyond in their work and commitment to XPO, and each of them has been highly successful in their relevant fields. We look forward to working with them in the time ahead and watching their careers progress.”

The apprentices have taken roles across XPO, including six in finance, five in HR, three traffic office apprentices and three HGV technicians.

The split between male and female apprentices is almost 50/50, with 25 women and 26 men in current XPO apprenticeships.
