Rolls-Royce apprentice scoops top regional award

An apprentice at Rolls-Royce has been recognised at awards organised by East Midlands Chamber which celebrate the region’s outstanding businesswomen.

Hannah Livingstone recently carried off the Apprentice of the Year Award at the Enterprising Women Awards 2025.

Delivered by the chamber’s Enterprising Women network, the awards celebrate the achievements of women, from apprentices to leaders,

Hannah said: “There’s a lot of stigma around apprentices and what they do but you don’t make cups of tea all day; you make a massive difference, and you gain skills that you wouldn’t necessarily get from traditional educational routes.”

Enterprising Women co-chair Eileen Perry MBE DL said: “The finalists this year were outstanding, and the winners truly embody everything these awards stand for.

“It was a night filled with inspiration, celebration and, of course, plenty of glamour.”
