Hive Support Services has been named among the nation’s best apprenticeship employers.
The Worcester-based business support hub has been listed as a Top 50 SME Apprenticeship Employer by Higherin, a leading careers platform.
Michelle O’Connor, chief people officer at Hive Support Services, said: “Securing a place in the Top 50 SME apprenticeship employers is a huge achievement for us at Hive, and gives us validation that the experience we provide, the culture we are building, and the investment we continue to make in future talent is making a difference.
“Apprentices bring real value to our workforce, skills pipeline, and long-term organisational capability.
“We’re very passionate about giving people who are starting out in their careers the opportunity to learn and thrive, and we’re continuing to invest in the next generation.”
The recognition is based in part on feedback from Hive’s 19 current apprentices and highlights the quality and impact of its apprenticeship programme.

The company has been assisted by Wychavon District Council’s Apprenticeship Funding Scheme, which has helped support several of its apprentices.
