Warrington & Vale Royal College provides top tier training to its future electricians with generous support from Ansell Lighting

Ansell Lighting, a local leading lighting designer and manufacturer, has generously donated a range of cutting-edge lighting equipment to the college, providing students with exposure to the latest technology used in the industry. This will enhance their practical skills and prepare them for the demands of the modern workplace in our Construction & Civil Engineering Academy.

Karl Hill, Subject Leader for Electrical Installation at Warrington & Vale Royal College, said: “This collaboration with Ansell Lighting is a fantastic opportunity for our students. By working closely with industry leaders like Ansell, we can provide our students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to excel in their careers. This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to delivering high-quality technical training that meets the needs of both students and employers.”

The donation from Ansell Lighting is part of the company’s broader commitment to supporting education and fostering new talent within the electrical sector. By engaging with Warrington & Vale Royal College, Ansell Lighting is helping to bridge the gap between education and industry, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Mike Talbot, Sales Director at Ansell, said: “As a manufacturer we recognise the importance of investing in and supporting the next generation of electricians and installers, at a time when there has been talk of skills shortages within the industry. We have worked on a number of projects with colleges across the country but in this instance, it has been especially great to support students and apprentices local to our Warrington headquarters.”

Warrington & Vale Royal College continues to build strong relationships with leading employers and industry partners to ensure its students have access to the best possible education and career opportunities. The collaboration with Ansell Lighting is a testament to the college’s ongoing efforts to provide students with the tools and resources they need to succeed in their chosen fields, further cementing its reputation as Your Career College.
