Greater Manchester Skills Awards

I’m absolutely over the moon that the T Level Industry Placement Programme has won the Partnership Award at the GM Skills Awards!

To have that work recognised is wonderful, and knowing the team were up against such strong competition, alongside so many brilliant projects and teams across all the categories, makes it feel even more special.

It’s been a genuine privilege to lead this programme, and a pleasure to work with so many brilliant people who helped make it such a success.

Update August 2026

  I’ve just completed a return on investment piece for a regular client who’s using the evidence to inform national policy.

• I’m enabling a multi-organisational pilot enabling learners to move directly from education into work, scaling already in discussion.

• I am developing a project to improve workplace experience opportunities for those who are facing disadvantage, with the aim of reducing NEET (not in education, employment or training).
