Her extensive experience and dedication to quality and innovation in education settings aligns perfectly with our purpose and vision. Sandra's leadership will undoubtedly drive forward our mission of providing exceptional apprenticeship opportunities to individuals across England and Wales."

Warren-Smith's arrival follows the retirement of Judi Wheeler, who previously served in the same capacity at JTL for eight years, overseeing the delivery of apprenticeships, professional courses, and assessment services across four regional teams.

Upon her appointment, Sandra Warren-Smith commented, "I am thrilled to join the team at JTL and look forward to bringing the insight and knowledge that I have gained over my years of experience to my new role as National Delivery Director."
