Introducing June’s winner… Congratulations to Boris Kisame for being awarded June’s Apprentice of the Month!
Boris is a Level 3 IT Support Technician Apprentice with IMC LOCUMS, andhis manager, Steve, had incredible feedback on the positive impact he has had on the team over at IMC LOCUMS since starting with the company.
Read what Boris’s manager had to say about his apprenticeship journey so far.
“He has just gained session superstar recently but to be honest he goes above and beyond every single day that I believe he deserves apprentice of the month. He has an excellent attitude and is the kindest, most generous soul – his enthusiasm and work ethic continue to impress me.
In the short time that he has been with the company, he has shifted our entire mindset of IT being a struggle to one that staff no longer fret or worry about. He faces every single task head-on that is assigned and if ever there’s a downtime he researches and learns more about the platforms we use and how he can make our systems better. I have heard the same wonderful things from his mentors at Baltic and our sessions together give us a chance to sing his praises and build his self-esteem.
He is destined for wonderful things and most importantly understands that IT is a people business, and his kind, compassionate approach means he absolutely nails it.”
Congratulations, Boris, we’re so proud of you! 👏

LUKE BRICHARD-PARSONS, MARKETING APPRENTICE WITH TRANSFORM COMMS
“Luke Brichard-Parsons deserves the accolade of apprentice of the month as he brings so many positive attributes to the team. And he makes every day in the office just that little bit brighter.
Of course, Luke does all the essential things that make a great team member. His timekeeping is perfect, he records and tracks all his tasks, and he delivers his work on time, every time.
But even more than this, Luke’s work is also top quality – whether it’s video or podcast editing and captioning, social media content, or anything else he is asked to do. This consistency and flexibility is important – and very much appreciated – in our busy marketing consultancy, where we have a real focus on delivering exceptional work to clients.
In addition, Luke doesn’t just do what he’s told! He produces creative ideas that elevate projects and finds opportunities to try something different. He asks the right questions, challenges us (appropriately!) where needed, and takes every opportunity to learn and grow. Luke’s skills, positivity and enthusiasm are a real asset to our team.”
