Event Highlights: West Yorkshire Manufacturing Services

Thank you to everyone who attended our recent event at West Yorkshire Manufacturing Services on 14 January 2026. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase how EAL and Matrix Technologies have collaborated to strengthen the future of engineering and manufacturing education. 

Attendees heard from Paddy Oakes, Industry Manager at EAL, who provided valuable updates on sector reforms and the latest developments in apprenticeships. Sam Ashman, Lead Technical Advisor at EAL, also introduced the new qualifications EAL has launched to further support learners, providers, and employers across the sector. 

Alongside the presentations, Matrix Technologies delivered hands‑on demonstrations of their educational equipment. Delegates explored how these innovative teaching tools align with EAL qualifications and help bring practical learning to life.
