As we mark the close of National Apprenticeship Week 2026, it is the perfect time to recognise and celebrate our apprentices and the progress they make every day 🎉

As proud members of the The 5% Club, we are committed to developing talent and creating opportunities for people to learn, grow, and build lasting careers at Sykes.

This week, we’re also shining a spotlight on one of our apprentices, Evan Read, now in his second year as a Quantity Surveyor. Evan began his journey working on Passive Fire Protection and has since moved into our Building workstream, gaining hands-on experience in a new environment and broadening his knowledge across different areas of the business.

Apprenticeships aren’t just about learning a role — they’re about building confidence, developing real-world skills, and creating strong foundations for the future. We are proud of every one of our apprentices and look forward to seeing what they achieve next. 👏
