Will Brooks, digital marketing apprentice for Chesterfield, U.K.-based hot tub manufacturer Superior Wellness was awarded Apprentice of the Year at the 2022 Love Chesterfield Awards.
The annual black-tie awards ceremony took place at the Winding Wheel Theatre on Oct. 12 and was created to celebrate the businesses that make up the town of Chesterfield.
Brooks, who is 18, began his digital marketing level 3 apprenticeship at Superior Wellness through Baltic Apprenticeships. This was Brooks’ first job in an office; however, it seems he managed to adapt well to the unfamiliar environment, since his first day with the company in October of 2021.
According to his employers, Brooks was an integral part of the marketing team during a particularly busy time for the company and he has grown in confidence both in his work and personally since he started.
“I am so proud that Will has been awarded Apprentice of the Year,” says Sarah Elphick, head of marketing at Superior Wellness. “He really is an asset, and we are delighted to have him on the team. We are looking forward to continuing helping him to develop and we hope he progresses his career here after he has completed the apprenticeship. Well done Will and congratulations!” Elphick had been responsible for having submitted Brooks for the nomination.
“I want to thank everyone who has helped me achieve this award, as I wouldn’t have been able to do so without them,” Brooks says. “I hope I can continue to develop and grow around my amazing team.”
Due to the success of Will as an apprentice in the marketing team, Superior Wellness has recruited an additional apprentice in the marketing team and as well as one for the company’s development team.
