EDITOR’S NOTE

great journey becoming a qualified electrician.

In this issue, you can also read all about the SPARKS Learner of the Year 2023. The standard of work throughout the competition was higher than ever, and everyone who took part should be extremely proud of themselves. We also launched the very first SPARKS Female Skills competition, where we saw six finalists battle it out to be crowned the first-ever winner of the new competition. Find out more on page 10.

Competitions are a great way to hone your skills and demonstrate just how much you already know. Remember, we’re here for you 24/7 via our website www.sparks-magazine.co.uk and on all our social media platforms.

Have a great summer!
