Apprenticeship Group celebrates the best of education with EDA C
irencester’s Apprenticeship Management Group joined The Right Honourable John Bercow in celebrating the Electrical
Distributors Association’s Education and Training Awards last month. The former House of
Commons speaker hosted the EDA’s annual awards in front of over 500 guests at the Association’s Annual Dinner on Thursday 5 March 2020. Nine high performing leaders from EDA wholesalers and manufacturers received Investor in Training trophies. EDA President, CEF’s Chris Ashworth said: “Every business leader
agrees that investing in apprenticeships and professional training is essential, but not everyone takes action. Our winners have recognised the opportunity and have seized it with both hands. As we celebrate their success, I would encourage everyone to reflect on their own business and whether there is more they could do to attract and retain the best possible talent. The future prosperity of our sector depends on the aptitude and performance of our people, which is why offering training and apprenticeships is central to the EDA’s work.” The winners not only came from all over the British Isles, they also
represented a broad spectrum of ages and seniorities – from youngsters just starting out in their careers through to company directors.
CICV Forum posters protect employees carrying out essential work T
he Construction Industry Coronavirus (CICV) Forum has started distributing protective signage for key workers carrying out
emergency and essential projects. The posters, designed to be displayed on sites or on vans, carry the legend – Key Worker: Carrying out Essential Work. They are designed to deflect reported harassment and abuse which has been directed at employees by members of the public. The signage will
alert the public to the fact that workers they see in the streets or on sites are not flouting the rules but instead are performing vital roles, in line with guidelines, to ensure that the fabric of the country remains in good condition during the lockdown. Ian Honeyman, Commercial Director of the Scottish Building Federation, said:
“This is a time when we should all be working together and the Forum is keen to reduce any possible tensions between key workers and misinformed members of the public. “In a period when the Scottish Government is asking people to remain in their homes, it is important that these homes are watertight, safe and have essential working facilities, such as water, gas and electricity, and that is what the construction sector’s key workers are ensuring.”
