Speaking about the results, Jill Whittaker, Managing Director at HIT Training, said: “To say we are thrilled to be named number 74 in the Times Top100 Places to Work is an understatement. This accolade is down to every individual team member at HIT Training and their hard work, determination and unrivalled passion for what they do. Helping employers and apprentices within the hospitality sector to achieve either their career or businesses goals is what we do and the fact that so many of our employees chose to participate in the survey affirms the high-quality service we pride ourselves on.
“At HIT, we are a business built on outstanding people and the results from the survey demonstrate the positive and supportive atmosphere across the businesses. It’s an exciting time for us with so many changes in the apprenticeship market and the growing preference for work-based learning. With the amazing team we have, we’re continuing to develop our offering and help more businesses and learners to grow their skill set – and what better way to kick-off the year than with this fantastic Times Top100 listing.”
