Gelder Group is proud to announce that we have once again been recognised for our commitment to developing young talent, receiving the prestigious Princess Royal Training Award (PRTA) for the third time previously honoured in 2018 and 2022, this year’s award marks another milestone in our ongoing investment in apprenticeships and skills development.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary – and coinciding with HRH The Princess Royal’s 75th birthday – the awards recognise just 57 organisations across the UK for their outstanding dedication to training and development.
Through close collaboration with Lincoln College, Gelder Group provides apprentices in areas such as surveying, bricklaying, joinery, and administration with high-quality training, mentoring, and clear progression opportunities. With a 95% apprentice retention rate, our programme is helping to bridge industry skills gaps and support future talent.
Chief Executive Officer Steve Gelder said:
We are absolutely thrilled to receive this award again. It reflects the importance we place on apprenticeships and the long-term benefits they bring to our business, our people, and the wider construction industry.
The formal awards ceremony will take place in London on December 2, where winners will celebrate their achievements and share their innovative approaches to training.
