REBECCA Bailey, a former student at Richard Huish College, Taunton, has won Higher Level Apprentice of the Year in the Grow Somerset Talent Somerset Apprentice Awards.
She said: “I’m absolutely delighted. Acorn Solicitors have encouraged me all the way along and have given me the opportunities to develop and try new areas."
Rebecca started out doing a Level 3 Business and Administration apprenticeship and has now moved on to study for her Level 5 Diploma in Management while also working as Acorn's assistant office manager.
She is now mentoring the firm's new apprentice, and has helped the firm to further expand over the last three years. Now they plan to take on more and more apprentices from local schools.
Rebecca Bailey celebrates her accolade with Acorn Solicitors senior partner David Sinclair.
