The SPARKS Learner of the Year competition has a history of uncovering future industry skills, unearthing the fresh talent that will help shape the future of the electrical industry and ensure standards never drop. The 2023 competition was no exception, with skilled learners from across the country proving the future for professional electricians is bright!

The competition kicked off in January, when Level 2 and 3 electrical students competed across six regional locations in England and Wales. The high calibre of entries this year meant that competition judges, Geoff Brittain from NAPIT, and professional electricians, Amy Barratt-Singh (@amythesparky) and Danny Webb (@sparkymilan), had a tough job on their hands. After much deliberation, with some of the results having just one mark between them, six regional winners, plus the highest runner-up, were announced as this year’s SPARKS Learner of the Year finalists.

On 26th and 27 th April, after a closely contested two-day final held at the state-of-the-art Schneider Electric Innovation Hub in Coventry, Nathan Pawsey from Cambridge Regional College was crowned as SPARKS Learner of the Year 2023. Followed closely behind, Sam Mackenzie from Farnborough College of Technology was awarded runner-up.
