A&A Supports the Next Generation with Apprentice Training Days

A&A has been welcoming apprentices from across the lift industry to its London site for a series of hands-on product training days.

The company recently hosted eight apprentices from Mitsubishi Electric Europe, introducing them to A&A’s products and services and giving them a behind-the-scenes tour of its warehouse, trade counter, picking and packing operations and cable cutting section.

This was followed by a further training day for apprentices from Griffin Elevators and Kentec Lifts. The group learned more about products including contactors and relays, shaft lighting, trailing flexes, auto-diallers and GSM units, and load weighers, as well as seeing how A&A’s day-to-day operations support customers.

Each apprentice also received a tool bag containing practical equipment to support them as they continue developing their skills and experience in the industry.

It is great to see companies investing time and knowledge in the next generation of lift professionals. Best wishes to all of the apprentices as they continue their training.
