We have now concluded a week of apprenticeship celebrations as part of National Apprenticeship Week 2025 and what a positive and inspirational week we had! Our People and Culture Manager Rachel Hughes attended the Apprenticeship and Skills Panel Breakfast hosted by Keele Gateway.
Sharing their experiences of working for the Stoke-on-Trent business who were recently awarded ‘SME Employer of the Year Regional Finalist’ in the National Apprenticeship and Skills Awards, Rachel and Nathan helped the group to focus on the progression opportunities available to them within this in-demand profession.

Earlier this week, DPC’s five aside team braved the snowy cold weather to compete in a charity football tournament at the Powerleague in Stoke-on-Trent. Our team was playing to raise money for the aiM charity – this is a local charity that was set up by the parents of Mia who tragically passed away in December 2022 from sepsis. The charity works to raise awareness of Sepsis to save lives and hopefully stop others feeling the same pain as Mia’s family.
