Mike Blakeley, Head of Business Solutions and Enterprise at Exeter College, said: “Exeter College is renowned for educational awards so we're delighted to be recognised for the services we provide for our extensive range of local businesses. Our dedicated Apprenticeship recruitment advisers collectively deliver over 800 apprentices to the doors of local businesses. The value this brings to our network of employers and young people brings huge benefit right across the city.”
