Three Welsh employers were recognised at a leading Welsh work-based learning provider\u2019s prestigious annual awards for their commitment to training and developing their employees.<\/h3>\n

Farm Foods, pan Wales, Farmers Pantry based in Llantwit Major and Penycae Inn, at Penycae, near Swansea were named the large, medium and small employer of the year awards, respectively, at the awards organised by Cambrian Training Company and its partners.<\/p>\n

The independently judged awards recognise the outstanding achievements of employers, learners and practitioners across Wales who have excelled in apprenticeship programmes delivered by the Welshpool-based work-based learning provider and its partners.<\/p>\n

Twenty-seven finalists – three in each of the nine categories \u2013 were shortlisted for the annual awards ceremony held at the Metropole Hotel, Llandrindod Wells.<\/p>\n

Farmfoods\u2019 apprenticeship programme drives business growth by developing skilled staff who strengthen store operations, productivity and long\u2011term workforce stability.<\/p>\n

Apprentices gain practical skills from the outset in customer service, stock control, compliance and leadership, becoming confident team members who enhance standards and efficiency.<\/p>\n

Digital learning through the Farmfoods Hub improves communication and real\u2011time support, while in\u2011house trainers, managers and training officers provide consistent coaching and protected learning time.<\/p>\n

Clear progression routes and strong retention mean all apprentices move into permanent roles, with many progressing into leadership positions, building sustainable careers and supporting the long\u2011term success of this family\u2011run business.<\/p>\n

Alex Davies and Moyra Robinson, Wales area managers from Farmfoods, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are overwhelmed to receive this award because we were up against some other good companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a family run business, we are always looking for future managers and apprenticeships are important because they bring us talented people with new ideas. We are grateful to Cambrian Training Company for supporting our apprentices in Wales.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Farmers Pantry Butchers\u2019 apprenticeship programme has been crucial to its growth, supporting its expansion from a family farm into a multi\u2011site butchery, retail and catering business.<\/p>\n

By developing skilled butchers and technical staff internally, the company has overcome sector\u2011wide skills shortages while maintaining exceptional quality and customer service.<\/p>\n

Apprentices gain advanced technical skills, commercial awareness and strong sustainability knowledge, contributing to national recognition, such as winning the award for Best Large Butchery Business in Wales 2025.<\/p>\n

With clear progression routes, hands\u2011on mentoring and digital engagement, the programme builds confident professionals who drive performance and secure the organisation\u2019s long\u2011term future.<\/p>\n

Rhodri Davies, owner of Farmers Pantry Butchers, said:<\/p>\n

“This award is a reflection of the hard work, commitment and dedication shown by every member of our team.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Farmers Pantry, we believe we are only as strong as our team and this recognition reinforces our commitment to creating a workplace where employees can develop, succeed and build rewarding careers. It is a fantastic achievement for the whole business and one that we are honoured to receive.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dawie Beyers, the company\u2019s operations manager, added:<\/p>\n

“We have worked closely with Cambrian Training for many years and greatly value the support, guidance and expertise they provide.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvesting in the development of our staff is a key part of our business and Cambrian Training has helped us create opportunities for employees to gain new skills, grow in confidence and progress within their careers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An apprenticeship programme has been vital to Penycae Inn\u2019s growth, helping a small team build capability, confidence and long\u2011term stability. Over three years, apprentices have strengthened the kitchen, front\u2011of\u2011house and new hotel, improving service quality and filling key skills gaps.<\/p>\n

The programme has transformed learners, creating skilled, motivated staff, while digital tools and hands\u2011on training have boosted productivity.<\/p>\n

The business\u2019 inclusive approach, supporting autistic learners and those needing a second chance, has strengthened community links and loyalty. This innovative and supportive programme has created a capable workforce that drives customer satisfaction, awards success and sustainable business growth.<\/p>\n

Penycae Inn\u2019s front-of-house waiter, Aaron Jones, also won the Apprentice of the Year Award, adding it to the Outstanding Individual Special Recognition Award he won last year.<\/p>\n

Anthony Christopher, who co-owns Penycae Inn with his wife, Claire, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe award is lovely recognition for the years\u2019 training staff, but we could not have achieved this without our young people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to see the development of our apprentices and how they add value to the business. It creates a much better environment when staff learn hands-on skills within the business and the support from Cambrian Training Company has been exceptional.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Managing Director of Cambrian Training Company, Faith O’Brien, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThese employers demonstrate the difference strong apprenticeship partnerships can make. Their achievements are truly inspiring.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy nurturing talent, building clear progression routes and embracing innovation they are strengthening their workforces and helping secure the future of their industries.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Through its network of five offices across Wales, Cambrian Training Company is the leading independent provider of apprenticeships to the hospitality and food and drink manufacturing industries.<\/p>\n

The company and its partners also deliver leadership and management, retail, business administration, customer service, sustainable resource management, health, social care and early years, barbering and hairdressing and active leisure apprenticeships.<\/p>\n

With a strong background in Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop, I bring high technical proficiency to every project. I hold an MA in Graphic Design and Multimedia from Wrexham Glyndwr University and have honed my skills through diverse freelance projects and professional training. My expertise spans various aspects of digital marketing, including social media, content marketing, and SEO, which I developed during a comprehensive boot camp with the Pathway Group. I have successfully created comprehensive style guides, eye-catching print and digital media designs, and engaging social media content that enhances brand consistency and visibility. I am highly adaptable, with a proven ability to meet deadlines and manage multiple projects efficiently. My work is characterised by attention to detail, proactive problem-solving, and a strong aesthetic sense. I am also culturally aware and can communicate effectively across different mediums and audiences. Beyond my technical skills, I am keenly interested in sustainability in packaging design and user experience in the medical sector, reflecting my commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. Whether collaborating with team members or leading projects, I strive to maintain a positive and productive work environment. In addition to my professional pursuits, I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, and drawing, which help me stay inspired and balanced.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/krasimira-petkova-4ab470117\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/author\/krasimirapetkovaoutlook-com\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19899"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20522,"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19899\/revisions\/20522"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cambriantraining.com\/wp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
