Caitlin Edmondson from Guardian Industries claimed the Electrical Apprentice of the Year Award.

Caitlin's strong commitment to learning is clear not only in her day-to-day role at Guardian but also in the high standard of written work she completes as part of her apprenticeship. This commitment has led to her making phenomenal progress in company.

She has integrated seamlessly into her shift, building strong working relationships and demonstrating flexibility by stepping in to assist with mechanical tasks on a number of occasions. A highlight of her journey so far was the successful completion of her first solo project: independently scoping, planning, and installing external factory emergency lighting. Executed safely, professionally and with minimal supervision, the project showcased her exceptional craftsmanship and organisational skills.

Already establishing herself as a top-performing apprentice at Guardian, Caitlin possesses a standout work ethic and clear leadership potential. At her current trajectory, the team at Guardian have no doubt she has a bright future ahead of her, including a path toward a management role and are delighted to have her as part of their organisation.

Very well deserved, Caitlin!

Today we say goodbye to a treasured member of our team, Andrea.

Andrea has given over 22 years of service to HETA, and in that time has offered a warm welcome to thousands of learners and delegates who have launched or furthered their careers at our training centres and has worked tirelessly as a member of our administration team, supporting the wider business to run smoothly.

Andrea has also helped a number of our own staff to start their careers in administration, notably our Head of Sales and Marketing, Charlotte Hogben and EPA Coordinator, Sam Rorrison, who both benefitted from Andrea's support and guidance when they joined our business some years ago.

Her kind nature and warm presence will no doubt be missed by all fortunate enough to work alongside her, but we would like to wish Andrea all the very best for her well deserved retirement!
