Our Commitment to Employee Development
Browne’s ethos is built on empowering our people. Through initiatives like our apprenticeship programmes, we’ve provided a platform for individuals to gain hands-on experience and qualifications while earning. Many of our apprentices and graduates have grown into leadership roles, helping to shape the future of the company.
Programmes like these are not just about ticking boxes—they’re about fostering skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging within the construction and utilities sector. By offering focused training and mentorship, we ensure our employees feel supported at every step of their journey.
Why This Recognition Matters
The 5% Club’s Employer Audit is a benchmark for excellence in developing the workforce of tomorrow. Achieving the Gold Award reflects our dedication to embedding apprenticeships and graduate schemes as core pillars of our business strategy. It underscores our belief that investing in people is the key to our long-term success.
We are proud to be recognised alongside other organisations that share our values. Together, we are shaping industries, driving innovation, and providing opportunities that make a real difference.
“We at Browne are proud to be Gold members of the 5% club, which recognises our commitment to ensuring that 5% of our workforce is made up of apprentices, graduates, or placement students. This diverse group of energetic young people are making an excellent contribution to our business, as they go through their development, training, and education.

This achievement is a testament to the hard work and passion of our team. But it’s also a reminder that there’s more to do.
