Two training provider chief executives have been elected to join the board of the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP).
The trade body announced Debbie Gardener, managing director of Learn Plus Us and Nick Smith, chief executive of TTE Training Limited, topped the ballot to fill two board places reserved for small independent training providers.
The pair saw off competition from five other candidates.
Gardiner returns to the AELP board after a nine-year stint that ended in 2022.
