Taking place at the Hilton Brighton Metropole, ten awards were handed out to celebrate and recognise the hard working individuals and organisations involved in apprenticeships across Sussex.
As well as the ceremony, hosted by Keith Ridley, the nominees ate a two-course meal and had the opportunity to have an artist draw a caricature of them.
The headline sponsor of the awards was the Sussex Masonic Charitable Foundation CIO.

The headline sponsor of the awards was the Sussex Masonic Charitable Foundation CIO. Michael Harris, chairman of the Sussex Masonic Charitable Foundation CIO, addressed the audience at the start of the event and said: "We've seen some pretty amazing people put forward as nominees. "It's been a very difficult decision I can promise you, but those that have won the awards are well deserving of it and I must congratulate you all on your very fine achievement as apprentices. "It's so enlightening to see young people coming through a community that work hard and enjoy themselves. As Sussex Freemasons we are delighted to be able to support our young individuals and their employers in this way and its a pleasure to welcome you all here tonight." Photo: Sam Stephenson
