Now in its 10th year the Electrical Distributors’ Association (EDA) held its annual Learning Achievement Awards recently at London’s Shard, celebrating individuals from across the UK who have shone in their Apprenticeship or their EDA Product Knowledge studies.

The trophies were presented by EDA President, CEF’s Chris Ashworth, and by John Henry, Managing Director at EDA Apprenticeships Plus, the organisation which operates the Association’s Apprenticeship Service and sponsors of the Awards.

The Association’s CEO, Margaret Fitzsimons, said, “This is the tenth year we’ve held a ceremony of this kind at the Shard and it is our biggest Learning Achievement Awards ever, with 21 trophies going to deserving individuals.

“Our winners are hand-picked from amongst thousands who have completed an apprenticeship or module studies this year, so every EDA business could have a future winner in their midst.
