🙌 We are proud to share an exciting milestone!

We recently had the privilege of attending the Derry Building Services Awards Night, an event we’ve proudly supported since 1992.

Out of four categories, we were honoured to receive nominations in two and were awarded the prestigious ‘QUALITY AWARD’ 🏆.

This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication and excellence of our team.

Representing AF Switchgear at the event were Mark Nutt, Group Technical Director, and Rob Briggs, Sales Estimating Director.

It’s also worth noting that we previously earned the Best Supplier Award in 2015—a recognition of our ongoing commitment to excellence. 🌟

Congratulations to all involved in organising this outstanding event, which continues to grow and thrive each year!

🙌 We are beyond proud to celebrate the next generation of our achievers:

In a significant step forward for the panel building industry, 2024 marked a milestone with The Electrotechnical Joint Industry Board (JIB) finally recognising the industry’s experienced workers.

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of AF Switchgear and Vision West Nottinghamshire College, experienced workers who complete the Level 3 Panel Wiring for Engineering Applications qualification are now eligible to obtain the prestigious ECS Gold Card.

Building on the success of this achievement, AF Switchgear submitted a formal request to the JIB in October 2024 to extend similar recognition to apprentices completing the Level 3 Engineering Fitter Apprenticeship (Electrical Pathway).

We are delighted to announce that as of January 2025, apprentices who successfully complete this apprenticeship will now qualify for the Panel Builder Gold Card. This development ensures that the contributions of apprentices are fully recognised and highlights the industry’s ongoing commitment to nurturing and celebrating emerging talent.

This is fantastic news for our recently qualified apprentices pictured below.
