INDEPENDENT insurance broking and risk management company TL Dallas has announced plans to extend its apprenticeship scheme further across its ten UK offices.

Its Bradford-based apprentices Sophiya Adam and Marcus Kelly were both recently nominated for Best Newcomer at the national UNA Alliance conference, with Sophiya winning.

Sophiya said, "Working as an apprentice for TL Dallas will equip me with the tools I need, and I'm looking forward to continuing with the firm during the next steps of my career."

Lizzy Tyler, Head of People at TL Dallas, said: "As a business with an established history in Bradford, we believe it is important to nurture young, homegrown talent."
