the Vitality Blast last summer, Wayne Madsen, discussed the importance of the partnership. He said: “Our ongoing partnership with 3aaa is a huge support to us as a club as we look to inspire people through the power of sport and add value to our local community.” 3aaa Apprenticeships is currently
at the start of an exciting year itself, with the Apprenticeship Levy now in full effect. The Government initiative, which

Founder of 3aaa Apprenticeships Peter Marples said: “We are delighted to be supporting Derbyshire again and deepening our partnership with the club. We have enjoyed a fruitful business relationship and our involvement with the club works for us as a business. It is especially pleasing to support our home county and city, where our business of nearly 500 staff is headquartered. We wish everyone our best wishes for the forthcoming season and particularly hope we can go two steps further than last year in the Vitality Blast.”
