Peartree Cleaning Services champions development through apprenticeships

Two of Peartree Cleaning Services’ managers, Marta Lignicka (pictured) and Ney Guzman, have successfully completed the Level 5 Industry Management Training Scheme apprenticeship.

This achievement marks a significant milestone in Peartree's ongoing commitment to investing in the growth and professional development of its people.

Through a combination of coaching, workshops and on-the-job learning, the 18-month, work-based apprenticeship equips managers and aspiring leaders with skills in team and project management, strategic decision-making, and financial planning to improve organisational performance.

"We're incredibly proud of Marta and Ney for their hard work and commitment to professional growth,” says Brad Reames, the organisation’s owner and managing director. The apprenticeship has not only enhanced their confidence and leadership abilities but also strengthened the quality and performance of our teams. We're excited to expand this opportunity to more of our managers in the future."

As part of its wider commitment to learning and community impact, Peartree has also gifted £19,500 of its apprenticeship levy funds to Mosaic Clubhouse, an award-winning mental health charity in Lambeth, London. The donation will fund a Level 7 CIPD HR apprenticeship through Knowledge Brief, supporting Mosaic's efforts to develop its staff and continue providing vital services to the community.

Mosaic Clubhouse has been supporting people in the London Borough of Lambeth with their mental health recovery for over 30 years. Each year, Mosaic helps more than 400 individuals aged 16 and over, offering access to education, employment, crisis support and community reintegration through initiatives like the Education and Employment Programme.

Nichola Underwood, people director at Peartree Cleaning Services, comments:

"I recently had the privilege of visiting Mosaic Clubhouse, and was truly inspired by the dedication of those who support their members each day. It was clear how much of a difference the charity makes - providing a safe, welcoming space where people can rebuild confidence, find purpose and take steps forward in their lives. Mosaic Clubhouse is a vital haven for the people of Lambeth, offering not just support, but a sense of belonging and hope."
