Investing in your future

Apprenticeships

We believe that talent isn’t just something you’re born with—it’s something you grow. And there’s no better way to nurture and develop talent than through apprenticeships.

Apprenticeships aren’t just for school leavers or those new to the industry. They’re an opportunity for anyone, at any stage of their career, to gain new skills, develop their expertise, and achieve formal qualifications—all while earning. Whether you’re looking to step into the world of hospitality, refine your leadership skills, or even take a degree-level qualification, our apprenticeships offer a clear pathway to success.

As Head of People and Talent, I’m proud to see how our commitment to learning and development is shaping careers, enriching lives, and strengthening our business. With the support of our internal Talent Team, the WSH group, and a vast network of learning providers, we’re ensuring that everyone at BM has access to world-class training that drives their career forward.

So, whether you’re an existing team member looking to develop your career or a job seeker exploring your options, there’s never been a better time to invest in yourself. Apprenticeships provide a structured, supported, and rewarding way to progress.
