BEST announces electrical alliance

BEST has announced a formal strategic alliance with Electrical Assessment Services UK Limited (EAS UK Ltd), an electrotechnical training company which specialises in NVQ level three awards, craft apprenticeships and skills enhancement.

The result of this agreement sees the launch of BEST Electrical Assessment Services, set to be the delivery arm of the partnership, and a welcome extension of BEST's portfolio of services to the industry.

EAS UK is an approved City & Guild centre for other associated electro-technical awards, allowing BEST to provide a full electro-technical training package to its partner employers.

Mark Brenner, chief executive of BEST, commented: "We are delighted that a strategic alliance has been established with EAS UK, and the heads of Agreement have now been signed. The company has a fantastic reputation and we are proud to be aligned with a specialist, which further supports our commitment to delivering quality training across the Building Services Engineering M&E spectrum."

Martin Payne, managing director of EAS UK, explained. "This is an exciting move for EAS UK, which has gone from strength-to-strength since its launch. This alliance means that through BEST, the building services sector has a training provider with national reach that is able to supply all disciplines to an industry recognised standard."
