Created by the Yorkshire Evening Post in collaboration with Halifax Courier and Wakefield Express, the West Yorkshire Apprentice Awards is in its second year celebrating those who have excelled in their chosen careers and apprenticeship providers in the country. The event was held in the new Tileyard North creative industries hub, in Wakefield, and winners across the 11 categories were announced in an evening of glamour, live music and delicious food.
Here are the best pictures from the night – from the winners to live music.
