North Lancs Training Group CIC (NLTG) is celebrating another Apprenticeship success story as former apprentice Shannon Proctor takes on the role of Assistant Manager at Tiger Lounge in Accrington.

Shannon’s journey with Tiger Lounge began with a short work experience placement through NLTG, where she was first introduced to the fast-paced and rewarding world of hospitality.

From those early days learning the ropes, her passion, confidence, and skills have grown – culminating in her promotion to a leadership position within the venue following a successful Apprenticeship.

Shannon said: “I didn’t really know what I wanted to do at first. I wasn’t confident at all, but the Apprenticeship gave me the support I needed. I got to learn on the job, while also being taught about the behind-the-scenes stuff like rules and responsibilities from my NLTG tutor.

“Now I am very confident in what I’m doing – and it means a lot that the team backs my decisions too.”

Tiger Lounge has a strong commitment to investing in young talent, especially through Apprenticeships.

Damian Cunliffe, owner of Tiger Lounge, said: “We have had great success with the Apprentices that we have taken on.

“Shannon started with us on a study programme work placement through NLTG and immediately made an impression, before starting her Apprenticeship with us. Now, as Assistant Manager, she is a key part of the team and a brilliant example of how Apprenticeships can lead to real career progression.”

Lee Clements, head of apprenticeships at NLTG, said: “Shannon’s story shows exactly why Apprenticeships are so valuable – not just to employers, but to young people who are still finding their path. She’s developed into a confident, capable leader and we’re incredibly proud to have played a part in her journey.”
