We have been shortlisted in four categories at this year’s Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce Awards, covering our training, our leadership, our approach to sustainability and our role in the region.
We’re on the shortlist for Apprenticeship Training Provider of the Year, Circular Business of the Year and the Outstanding Contribution to the Region Award. Our Managing Director, Shahban Aziz, has also been shortlisted for Business Leader of the Year.
Four shortlists in one year reflects the work of our whole team, and of the employers who train with us. It also lands in the year we marked 50 years as an industry-owned, not-for-profit training provider for UK textiles and advanced manufacturing.
The four categories:
- Apprenticeship Training Provider of the Year
- Business Leader of the Year: Shahban Aziz
- Circular Business of the Year
- Outstanding Contribution to the Region Award
What it means to us
Shahban Aziz, Managing Director of the Textile Centre of Excellence, said:
“To be shortlisted in four categories is a real credit to our team, our apprentices and the employers who put their trust in us. We’ve spent 50 years building the skills this industry depends on, and we’re working harder than ever to grow that impact across the region. Whatever happens on the night, we’re proud to be recognised alongside so many strong Mid Yorkshire businesses.”
What happens next:
The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Wednesday 2nd December at the Accu Stadium. We’ll share how we get on.
Thank you to the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce and the judges, and congratulations to everyone else on the shortlist. Most of all, thank you to the employers, members and partners we work with. This recognition is shared with you.
