About EETeC

EETeC is a not-for-profit Social Enterprise Company which was founded in 2004 by Sandra Jarvis and Gill Robinson, who were both passionate about ensuring that trustees were properly trained in their roles and responsibilities.

Their success in developing accredited trustee training has led to EETeC being recognised as the leader in providing training and workshops across East Anglia.

Sadly Gill Robinson (pictured right) died in May 2010, and whilst there will never be a replacement for Gill's knowledge and enthusiasm, Simon Waldron joined EETeC with the blessing of Gills daughter and son.
