Builders merchants group Travis Perkins plc has been ranked one of the nation’s top apprenticeship employers in the prestigious Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers list, published by the Department for Education, in partnership with apprenticeship review platform Higherin’.
The merchant ranked 32nd overall, and was also named the UK’s third best apprenticeship employer in the Construction, Property & Surveying category.
Andy Rayner, director of skills and apprenticeships at Travis Perkins plc, said: “Being named a top UK apprenticeship employer is a testament to Travis Perkins’ deep commitment to nurturing talent. Our proud track record reflects not only the hard work of our colleagues and apprentices, but also the high-quality, impactful experiences we deliver, ultimately building a skilled and loyal workforce for a thriving industry.”
The 2025 Top 100 list recognises organisations for: Their overall commitment to taking on apprentices, the diversity of people on a firm’s apprenticeship scheme, whether a company’s apprentices achieve success from the programme, and the feedback provided by apprentices themselves.
