Over the past four years, the company has successfully transferred £350,000 of its Apprenticeship Levy, enabling employers to recruit new talent, upskill existing teams and strengthen capability in key sectors.
The latest commitment marks a ‘significant expansion’ of this support and demonstrates Sysco GB’s long-term investment in skills, communities and the future of the UK food industry.
Katrina Simpson-Haines, human resources director at Sysco GB, said: “Sysco GB works closely with thousands of SMEs - many of whom play a critical role in hospitality, catering, food production, and logistics. We know how challenging it can be for smaller businesses to invest in training and development.
“By pledging £500,000 we’re enabling more organisations to access the skills and talent they need to thrive. Apprenticeships change lives, drive productivity, and create opportunities across so many of our communities, and we are proud to play our part in supporting our partners across the country.”
