Neopost, based in South Street, won the BAE Systems Large Employer of the Year award in the London regional final of the National Apprenticeship Awards and National Training Awards 2012.

The company will now go through to a national judging stage, with the overall winners announced in November. The top 100 scoring firms will also make up the England’s Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers list, produced by the National Apprenticeship Service and vocational qualifications body City and Guilds.

Neopost’s Katy Stanley said: “We would not have won this award without the determination and professionalism of our apprentices and the Neopost managers and supporters who work hard to make our apprenticeship scheme a huge success.”
