Brokers have also been working with Apprenticeship Levy paying organisations who are looking to gift part of their Levy funds to LCR businesses. To date we have facilitated over £3m of Levy transfer supporting over 650 apprentices and 51 receiving organisations. If you are an Apprenticeship Levy payer looking to gift your Levy or an organisation looking to recruit new staff or upskill existing staff through the apprenticeship route and you are interested in receiving Levy funds then please visit our Apprenticeship Levy Pledge page at https://lcrbemore.co.uk/levy-pledge/
