This year’s diploma assessments were re-scheduled from last year due to the pandemic, and the diplomas were awarded at a small ceremony at SRBA member Anderson & Sheppard.

Eighty-seven young people have now completed SRBA diploma-level apprenticeships on Savile Row since the scheme was founded in 2004.
