Chartered Company AB Building & Electrical has been named one of the UK’s top 50 apprentice employers by the Department of Education.
David Batterton MCIOB, director at AB Building & Electrical attended an event at the House of Lords in September, which celebrated its long-standing commitment to training and supporting young talent in the construction and electrical trades.
Batterton said: “It was a real privilege to represent our team at the House of Lords. This recognition reflects the dedication of everyone involved in our apprenticeship programme – from our mentors and managers to the apprentices themselves. We’re proud to be building careers, not just jobs.
“This achievement reflects the hard work of our apprentices, the dedication of our mentors, and the belief that opportunity should be at the heart of everything we do.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported our apprenticeship programme – this recognition belongs to all of you.”
The business, founded in 2002 by Tony Batterton and Stewart Shaw, has built a strong reputation in the social housing sector and is especially recognised for its electrical testing and compliance work. The company has trained more than 40 apprentices to date, each supported by experienced mentors and a dedicated management team.
