I was delighted to attend the recent Steve Willis Training Centre Graduation Evening. We are incredibly lucky to have this training centre in Burgess Hill.
It was fabulous evening which celebrated the graduation of 54 Apprentices in either Gas Engineering Operatives or Level 3 Installation and Maintenance Electricians.
With many local dignitaries, businesses and charity organisations in attendance alongside representatives from City and Guilds it was a great and uplifting evening.
Steve Willis Training must also be commended for their very valuable community work, their fundraising and support local charities provides vital funds to many local groups. It was fantastic to see raffles and auctions raise £4,329 which will be split between Burgess Hill Youth / Young Carers and Young Minds.
It was an honour to give the closing speech and I do wish all the apprentices great and successful careers; they are the future of their industries.
