Cripps Apprentice Wins At BPP Awards
Cripps is thrilled to announce that Callum Benson, a paralegal apprentice within the firm, has been named the BPP Apprentice of the Year (Level 4-5). This prestigious award recognises exceptional apprentices who demonstrate outstanding achievements over the past year.
Since joining Cripps’ apprenticeship program in 2023, Callum has consistently impressed with his dedication, work ethic, and eagerness to learn. Earlier this year, he was elected as Chair of the Kent Junior Lawyers Division, a role traditionally held by trainee solicitors.
In addition to this, Callum has been a passionate advocate for apprenticeships. He has spoken at various events, including Newman Catholic College in London, where he shared his experiences to inspire young individuals considering their career paths.
“We are immensely proud of Callum’s well-deserved achievement,” said Fiona Chamberlain, emerging talent manager at Cripps. “His accomplishments exemplify the calibre of talent nurtured through our program. Callum truly embodies our core values of dedication, excellence, and a passion for learning. Congratulations Callum.”
Established in 2018, Cripps’ apprenticeship program offers a unique opportunity for aspiring legal professionals. Apprentices gain valuable on-the-job experience while earning academic qualifications.
