Proud to be part of such an incredible scheme.

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending The 5% Club Founder’s Pledge Mentorship Programme.🙌 Over the past year, 12 outstanding apprentices participated in this transformative mentorship programme, guided by their CEO mentors to develop both personally and professionally. The graduation event, held at the Institution for Civil Engineers, was an inspiring occasion attended by prominent figures such as Leo Quinn founder of the The 5% Club, Group Chief Executive of Balfour Beatty; The Skills Minister, the Rt Hon Baroness Jacqui Smith; Mark Cameron OBE, CEO of The 5% Club; and other industry leaders. The event showcased the powerful role mentoring plays in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. We were proud to have our own Patrick Flannery, Managing Director, and Chloe Jones, one of our star apprentices who participated in this year’s programme, in attendance. Their involvement highlights our commitment to fostering talent and supporting such impactful initiatives. Highlights of the day included heartfelt reflections on the programme’s achievements, a graduation ceremony celebrating the apprentices’ hard work, and a celebratory lunch for graduates, their mentors, and their loved ones. Congratulations to the Founder’s Pledge graduates, and a sincere thank you to the CEO mentors who generously shared their expertise and guidance to empower the next generation. Together, we are contributing to a brighter, more skilled future. Balfour Beatty plc #Mentorship #Graduation #EmpoweringFutureLeaders #SkillsForTheFuture #Apprenticeships #PlanthireUK #Planthire

Last year marked ten years since I founded The 5% Club. To recognise this anniversary, I launched The 5% Club Founder’s Pledge. It’s a startling statistic that nearly 50% of Apprentices in the UK don’t complete their training programmes for financial or wellbeing reasons. So The Founder’s Pledge aimed to raise awareness of this issue and tackle it at the root cause by providing a high quality mentoring experience and a personal financial donation from me to help alleviate any financial hardship on the Apprentices taking part. Over the last twelve months, I’ve had the pleasure of mentoring Rupert Forster, a Laboratory and Associated Technical Activities Apprentice on our Hinkley Point C site. I’ve been joined by 11 other CEOs and senior leaders from across our supply chain who also took up the opportunity to mentor an Apprentice for the year. This week’s graduation ceremony was a fitting celebration to congratulate the Apprentices and their mentors for their hard work, and it was great to be joined by the Rt Hon Baroness Jacqui Smith, Minister for Skills, who acknowledged the value of high-quality Apprenticeships and the initiative itself. Don’t just take my word for it. Hear from the Minister and some of the talented Apprentices about their experience taking part of The Founder’s Pledge in the video below.
