BCS IT & Digital Apprenticeship Award Winners 2025
Congratulations to all our winners!
The BCS IT & Digital Apprenticeship Awards 2025 took place on 27 June, recognising 113 exceptional finalists across 17 categories, and celebrating the outstanding individuals who are shaping the future of tech.
From driven apprentices to talented T Level students, every winner demonstrated remarkable impact - not just in their roles and organisations, but in their wider communities too. Their passion, innovation and commitment reflect the very best of what digital talent has to offer.
This year’s ceremony was especially significant, marking 40 years since BCS was granted its Royal Charter. To help commemorate the occasion, Mr Graham Barker, Vice-Lord Lieutenant for The Royal County of Berkshire, shared a special message from His Royal Highness The Duke of Kent, Patron of BCS, recognising the vital contribution of digital apprenticeships to society and the economy.
These awards celebrate the individuals and organisations driving real progress through digital apprenticeships and tech careers.

"As Patron of BCS, I send you all my warmest good wishes for today’s event and for the 40th anniversary of the Society’s Royal Charter. I am sorry not to be with you but I do hope that you have a wonderful afternoon celebrating the Apprentice Awards.
The importance of apprenticeships, the support and skills they can give to young people from all backgrounds and the development opportunities they embody, cannot be underestimated. Thank you to all the companies and organisations involved in apprentice schemes who are represented here today for your invaluable service to the industry.
This afternoon you will recognise the brightest and best IT and digital apprentices from across the UK – the hard work and dedication they have shown and the talent that they represent.
Many congratulations to the winners and I wish them the very best for the future."
