Our Annual Gem Awards ceremony took place last Thursday at The Grand Hotel, Seaburn. We where joined by over 150 guests including staff, learners, employers and local North East businesses to celebrate our learners achievements and to also pay tribute to our partners and employers.
The event was sponsored by Sun FM, and was hosted by 1/2 of breakfast duo, Lauren McGleish. Our music was provided by a fantastic North East band, Sons of Eden, which proved a big hit throughout the night.
“We hope all of our guests enjoyed the evening. Springboard’s Business Development team are extremely proud to pay tribute to our learners, employers, staff and supporting partners by organising the Annual Gem Awards.”
