Celebrating Edison Galarza - Our 2025/26 Training Champion

16 March 2026

Training Champion News Post

We’re pleased to recognise Edison Galarza from Eldon Housing Association as our Training Champion for 2025-2026. His commitment to professional development highlights the impact that continuous learning can have across the housing sector.

Edison shared the following reflection:

"As part of my 2025 development plan, I have undertaken a comprehensive programme of training through the South East Consortium to support my continual professional development. Throughout the year, I successfully completed the following courses:

  • Building Safety and Compliance
  • Asbestos Management
  • Data Management
  • Condensation and Mould
  • Electrical Safety (Level 2)
  • Gas Safety (Level 2)
  • Building Safety Act
  • Contract Management
  • Intermediate Contract Management
  • Advanced Contract Management

These courses have significantly enhanced my technical knowledge and broadened my professional perspective. I now approach operational challenges with greater confidence, clarity, and a deeper understanding of compliance and safety standards across our sector. This development has strengthened my ability to support the organisation in delivering high‑quality services that prioritise residents’ welfare.

The training has also helped me grow as a leader, enabling me to better guide and support my team by promoting best practice and ensuring consistency across our operations.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Eldon Housing Association for their ongoing support in my professional development, and to the South East Consortium for providing such high‑quality training delivered by exceptionally professional trainers. Their expertise has played an important role in my growth over the past year.

Overall, this development journey has made a meaningful impact on both my professional capabilities and my contribution to the association."
