Employer Roadshow Returns to Inspire Electrical Apprentices

Established national electrical supplier, Lewden returned to Loughborough College earlier this month to speak with JTL Electrical apprentices about new developments in the industry and offer valuable employment advice.

Speaking to Year 1 JTL Electrical Installation apprentices, Mobile Showroom Coordinator Graham Deeks engaged in a fascinating question and answer session about the future of the sector, the advantages of social media for self-employed electricians, and the importance of financial literacy when entering the world of work.

First year Electrical Installation apprentice with JTL, James Forster shared his thoughts on Graham’s visit, saying: “I found Graham’s presentation really interesting. Especially hearing about how each organisation works to brand and price their products. It’s a side of the industry you don’t hear much about.”

Drew Kettle, another of the first-year apprentices agreed, adding: “Graham offered useful advice for our future careers as electricians. It’s great to have opportunities to speak to professionals to get their opinions and support on our next steps.”

Lewden, part of the Palazzoli Group, is recognised as a supplier of electrical power distribution solutions for industrial, commercial and domestic applications, providing electricity to tented villages where armed forces personnel are involved in theatres of operation.
