As we celebrate National Apprenticeship Week 2026, we’re proud to highlight the incredible learning and career journey of Kacey Pritchard, whose development at The Westgrove Group showcases the true value of apprenticeships in building skills, confidence and long‑term career success.

Where It Began: Joining Westgrove in 2021

Kacey joined The Westgrove Group in 2021, shortly after completing college. Eager to begin her professional career and gain real experience, she enrolled on a Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship—a programme that introduced her to the foundations of business operations, communication, and organisational processes.

Her enthusiasm, attention to detail, and willingness to learn quickly made her a valued member of the team.

Growing with Westgrove: From Admin to Multi‑Skilled Coordinator

After successfully completing her Level 3 apprenticeship, Kacey moved into the role of Operations Administrator. It was here that her responsibilities began to broaden significantly.

Kacey soon took on additional duties, supporting key business areas including:

• Training Coordination – managing internal training records, supporting compliance, and ensuring colleagues had the learning resources they needed.
• Mobilisation Coordination – assisting with the onboarding and mobilisation of new sites, ensuring smooth, organised and professional processes for both colleagues and partners.

Her proactive approach and adaptability enabled her to grow her skill set rapidly, establishing herself as a dependable and capable member of the operations team.

Taking the Next Step: Level 6 Project Management Degree Apprenticeship

Always committed to progressing her knowledge and career, Kacey embarked on a Level 6 Project Management Degree Apprenticeship, a major milestone that reflects her ambition and dedication.

She is now in the End Point Assessment (EPA) phase, working on a substantial work‑based project that demonstrates her ability to apply project management principles in real operational scenarios at Westgrove.

Kacey is hoping to graduate in the summer, marking another remarkable achievement in her professional journey.

Professional Achievement: APM PMQ Qualification

As part of her Level 6 programme, Kacey also achieved the APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ)—a respected industry accreditation recognised across the profession.

This achievement has strengthened her technical understanding of project management and further enhanced her capability to support large‑scale operational and mobilisation projects across the business.

A Bright Future Ahead

Kacey’s journey—from college graduate to skilled project management professional—demonstrates the power of apprenticeships in developing talent from within. Her commitment to learning, combined with the opportunities provided by the Westgrove Apprenticeship Programme, has enabled her to build a dynamic and rewarding career in a relatively short space of time.

We are incredibly proud of everything Kacey has achieved and look forward to celebrating her graduation and future milestones.
