The All Party Parliamentary Corporate Responsibility Group this week recognised Applegate for its commitment to corporate responsibility, including its pioneering work on degree apprenticeships.

Applegate Marketplace is pleased to be supporting a new programme in Northern Devon that is looking to promote and nurture the digital community.

Applegate’s Chief Executive, Stuart Brocklehurst, has been appointed to the Board of the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). The LEP brings together nineteen local authorities, three clinical commissioning groups, two national parks, ten colleges, two universities and the private sector to work collaboratively to promote growth and prosperity in the region.

Under the ‘First Rung’ scheme, Applegate’s degree apprentices will be encouraged to put aside part of the pay rises they receive into a saving scheme of their choosing. On successful completion of the programme, each will have their savings matched if they choose to use them to get on the housing ladder – providing up to £20,000 each as a total deposit.
