We’ve been nominated for SME Employer of the Year Award at the Apprenticeship Awards 2024

We are incredibly proud to announce that Queens Hotel has been shortlisted as a finalist for the SME Employer of the Year award at the News and Observer Series Apprenticeship Awards, sponsored by SEAAN.

Our commitment to nurturing the next generation of talent is perfectly represented by our amazing apprentices: Paloma, Vinnie, and Evie, all from HSDC. Paloma recently passed her apprenticeship with distinction, while Vinnie and Evie continue to work diligently through theirs. Their dedication to supporting our kitchen team highlights just how valuable apprenticeships are to our business and the wider hospitality industry.

General Manager Paul Playford said:
“We are honoured to be recognised for our apprenticeship program and the incredible impact it has on both our apprentices and our business. It’s a testament to the hard work of the entire team.”

As we prepare for the Apprenticeship Awards ceremony on October 24th, we would like to thank everyone who has supported our apprentices and helped shape their journey. We look forward to continuing our role in fostering talent and offering opportunities that contribute to both individual and organisational growth.

If you would like to know more about our apprenticeship programme or are interested in learning how we can help you develop the next generation of talent, please contact us at Karen.Packer@queenshotelportsmouth.com
