Hospitality apprenticeship provider Umbrella Training has won a Princess Royal Training Award for the second time, recognising the organisation’s exceptional commitment to learning and development.
Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal presented Umbrella founder and CEO, Adele Oxberry with the prestigious award at a ceremony held at St James’s Palace on 23rd November.
Umbrella was awarded alongside 52 recipients this year, recognising their unwavering dedication to training, outstanding skills development programmes, and positive impact on people.
Since achieving its first award in 2020, the business has evolved with a new leadership structure and enhanced working relationships with its employers.
Umbrella has also continued to adapt its course content, which is reflected in the success of its trainees: 78 per cent of its apprentices achieve a distinction and it has a 100% apprentice pass rate at end point assessment stage.
During the ceremony, Jenni Clarke, commercial director at Umbrella Training, was also selected to share some of the details around the company’s programmes with Her Royal Highness.
Adele Oxberry, CEO and founder of Umbrella Training, says: “This was such an incredible moment for me and the team.
