Looking back at 2025, it’s important to pause and recognise the momentum we’ve built together. This past year has been defined by progress, in the way we deliver learning, how we support organisations, and how we continue to grow as a team and a business.
Our partnerships have strengthened, new collaborations have taken shape, and the work we’ve done with our learners continues to remind us why our mission matters. We’re proud of the impact being created every day in workplaces across the UK and beyond.
Looking ahead, 2026 offers us the opportunity to build on this foundation with fresh ambition. We’ll continue to innovate, expand our reach, and stay focused on delivering learning that genuinely transforms people and performance.
Thank you for being part of our journey. 2026 will be a year of new ideas, new achievements, and continued growth.

APPRENTICESHIPS
As we conclude 2025, we’re proud to reflect on another year of meaningful progress, collaboration, and learner success at WELL. Our commitment to delivering high-quality apprenticeship experiences remains at the heart of everything we do.
2025 the Apprenticeship team welcomed and continue to:
Develop Partnerships – Our relationships with GP surgeries have continued to strengthen, with practices supporting their staff through apprenticeship pathways.
A Fond Farewell, with a Silver Lining – While we’re sad to see the Level 7 Senior Leader programme coming to an end, we’re grateful to have the opportunity to launch our final two cohorts this month. This means we will proudly continue delivering the programme for the next 18 months, supporting our final groups of aspiring leaders to achieve excellence.
Continued Excellence in Delivery – Our focus on quality, blended learning, and learner experience remains. We are committed to supporting every apprentice to grow in confidence, capability, and professional impact throughout their learning journey.
Innovation & Improvement – From enhancing digital pathways to refining processes that support both learners and clients, we continue to evolve our delivery to meet the needs of modern workplaces and future-ready professionals.
Thank you to all our learners, partners, and clients who continue to place their trust in us.
2026 will be another year of growth, partnerships, and opportunities with the WELL Apprenticeship Team.
COMMERCIAL
The Commercial department is building momentum and as we step into 2026, our mission remains unwavering: to create successful partnerships and empower individuals and organisations to develop, transform, and grow.
The final quarter of 2025 has been a powerful chapter in that journey, driven by two exciting priorities:
Welcoming New Clients
We’re delighted to collaborate with new partners like UCC Coffee, who share our passion for innovation and excellence. Together, we’re shaping a bespoke CMI-accredited Mentoring Programme for their Engineers, an initiative designed to unlock potential and deliver exceptional results.
Strengthening Existing Partnerships
Our commitment to our long-standing clients is stronger than ever. By deepening these relationships and exploring bold new ways of working together, we’re driving sustainable growth and, in some cases, radical transformation. We can’t wait to share more of these success stories with you in the New Year!
Every interaction, whether with a new client or a trusted partner is a chance to live our values, build trust, and create meaningful impact.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team and clients for your dedication and energy. Together, we’ve achieved so much, and the best is yet to come. In 2026, we will continue to strengthen relationships, embrace challenges, and move forward as a team, guided by shared values and a vision for growth.
CHARITY
We donated to Raven’s Rescue UK in 2025.
Founded in 2012, they work hard to care for animals that have been abandoned or mistreated, providing safety, veterinary treatment, and proper assessment before finding them new homes.
Raven’s have a charity shop based in Kingswinford to support the charity, but donations play a big part in helping them continue their wonderful work.

The WELL Team wrapped up (almost) 2025 in style with the last Team Meeting of the year. Face-to-face (a rare treat!) and perfectly timed with Christmas Jumper Day. Reactions to this, well let’s just say:
Majority of the team “Bah humbug!” and the rest (Leanne & Nic) “Santa called, your shift at the North Pole starts at 5!”
We covered the serious stuff too:
✅ 2025 highlights
✅ Big plans for 2026
✅ And then… the legendary Christmas Quiz.
We’re looking forward 2026, the year of heightened collaboration, creativity, and maybe fewer questionable jumpers!
