We are delighted to announce that Lionweld Kennedy Group has been awarded Gold status by The 5% Club — a UK employer-led initiative which recognises organisations that commit to and deliver “earn & learn” opportunities, such as apprenticeships, graduate placements and other training routes.
What the Gold status means
By achieving Gold accreditation with The 5% Club, Lionweld Kennedy joins a select group of employers who meet the criteria of having at least 5% of their workforce engaged in “earn & learn” schemes — and demonstrating a strong commitment to workforce development. For Lionweld Kennedy, this signals a clear investment in developing talent, supporting apprentices, graduates and trainees, and building a strong pipeline of skilled professionals for the future.
Why It Matters
- For Lionweld Kennedy, it reinforces our reputation as a company that not only delivers engineered access solutions, but also fosters talent, learning and progression.
- For apprentices and graduates, it means joining a business that values training and offers genuine development opportunities.
- For clients and partners, it offers assurance that Lionweld Kennedy is committed to skilled, sustainable workforce practices.
Looking Ahead
Achieving Gold status is a significant milestone and it provides a solid foundation from which Lionweld Kennedy can continue to grow its “earn & learn” programmes, further enhance diversity and inclusion, progress more trainees into fully-qualified roles and strengthen its place in supply-chains that increasingly prioritise skills and sustainability.
