Administrator, Babcock

I am Sophie Nettleinghame, currently working at Babcock as an Administrator. I joined Babcock in 2023 on the Administration apprenticeship straight from finishing my GCSE's. I have been with my current team for around one and a half years after completing placements and love my team!

I was awarded Apprentice of the Year when finishing and I have pushed myself to gain project experience and developing my skills through my daily tasks and completing the APM Challenge with this amazing team.

I love spending time with my friends and family and especially getting out in the sunshine and going on Holidays!

Session | APM Project Management Challenge winners 2026: How our project delivered benefits to iSight Cornwall.

Sight’s mission is to provide practical, emotional, and timely support to people with sight loss. They do this through face-to-face sessions helping them live independently with specialised equipment. Their vision is focused on creating a future where people with sight loss have opportunities and live without limitation.

We Project managed the delivery of a high-quality gaming livestream on both Twitch and TikTok. This was hosted by Dom who is a blind team member to showcase the accessibility opportunities for those affected by sight loss, to promote awareness and future-proof the charity. 

Our planned benefits were to drive direct revenue into the charity, boost community engagement and increase awareness. Our success criteria followed the topic of iSight’s 170th anniversary. First was to increase live viewers by 170, increase donations by £170 and increase followers by 170. We far exceeded those goals and reached nearly 1,500 viewers, raised £480, and gained over 1,300 followers. We gained global reach for iSight, with viewers and followers from USA, Canada, and the Netherlands.
