From light switch to football pitch Before becoming a household name in football, Stuart began his working life as an apprentice electrician with Brent Council, later running his own business.

Having Stuart as our patron is a huge honour, and we know his infl uence will help us make an even bigger impact.” Stuart Pearce commented: “I am truly honoured to become patron of EIC. Before my professional football career took off , I was settling into life as an electrician, so I have a real
appreciation for the hard work and dedication of those in the electrical and energy industries. I know fi rsthand the challenges that can come with the job, which is why I’m so passionate about supporting the incredible work that EIC does.
“The charity provides vital assistance to those who need it most and I’m excited to play a part in helping to raise awareness and ensure that no one in our industry faces any hardship alone.”
