"As an electrical wholesale business, we know the importance of product knowledge within the industry and believed that creating a partnership program whereby the students could gain work experience within our business would really benefit the students.”

Howard Callaghan, Electrical Installations Lecturer at Blackpool and The Fylde College said: “Our partnership with Go Electrical has been really successful.

"We have already placed a number of students with Go Electrical and all have had a positive experience from their time there and picked up additional knowledge and experience.”
