Association President, CEF’s Chris Ashworth, said: “Congratulations to this year’s EDA Investor in Training trophy winners. These leaders are delivering positive change in their businesses through the portfolio of professional training that the Association offers its members and affiliates.”

Overall, the number of organisations using the modules has increased by 50% over the same period.”
