Miller Homes

The Investors in People Awards 2025 - Finalist Case Study

Nominated for The Award for Best Apprenticeship Programme

Why did you enter the Investors in People 2025 Awards?

Over the past 18 months, we have refreshed and redefined our approach to developing early talent at Miller Homes. We wanted to ensure that every apprentice, regardless of their location, department, or career ambition, has access to a structured, professional, and engaging programme that supports both personal and professional growth. The results have been transformational, we’ve seen clear improvements in development, engagement, and confidence among our young employees, who are now better equipped to contribute to our business and build successful long-term careers.

We chose to enter The Investors in People 2025 Awards because we wanted this progress to be recognised and celebrated. We are proud of how far we’ve come and the collective effort it has taken to create a programme that truly develops our workforce of the future. Being shortlisted for Best Apprenticeship Programme affirms that our refreshed strategy is making a tangible difference — not only for our apprentices but for Miller Homes as a whole.

What has it meant to you, your team, and your organisation to be shortlisted for an Investors in People 2025 Award?

Being shortlisted has been an incredibly proud moment for our organisation. It represents the culmination of significant effort, creativity, and commitment from our Learning & Development team and the wider business to create an outstanding early talent programme. Recognition from such a prestigious organisation as Investors in People reinforces that the time, passion, and dedication invested in our apprenticeships have truly paid off.

It has inspired our teams to continue pushing boundaries, ensuring that our programmes remain engaging, forward-thinking, and impactful. Knowing that our approach is considered among the best in the industry motivates us to keep evolving and to replicate this success across all areas of people development within Miller Homes.

What would it mean to your organisation to win an Investors in People 2025 Award?

Winning this award would be an incredible achievement, particularly following our Investors in People Platinum re-accreditation in 2025. It would further cement the journey we have undertaken as a business to enhance our people development culture and showcase how this commitment is directly benefiting our early talent community.

An award of this calibre would not only recognise the dedication and expertise of our internal Learning & Development team but also celebrate the support and involvement of the wider business in creating an environment where young people can thrive. It would position Miller Homes as an employer of choice, helping us attract the best future talent in an increasingly competitive industry, while continuing to inspire innovation and excellence in everything we do.

How important is it for your organisation to be a part of the Investors in People community and engage in awards and events like this one?

Miller Homes has been part of the Investors in People community since 1998, and over the past six years, we’ve proudly achieved and maintained Platinum accreditation. This long-standing partnership has played a pivotal role in shaping our culture and driving continuous improvement across all areas of people development.

Until now, we hadn’t entered a specific award category, but the hard work, determination, and professionalism of our team in creating one of the most effective early talent programmes in the industry inspired us to do so. Being part of the Investors in People community connects us with like-minded organisations that share our passion for developing people. Engaging in awards and events like this allows us to celebrate success, share best practice, and continue learning from others who are equally committed to excellence in people management.
