“We sent five staff to Stirling Machinery for training. Two for a refresher course to sharpen their skills in the grinding room and three new staff who had never touched a grinder or tooling before. Every operator we sent up for training has come back with a strong foundation in grinding, and are effectively using the skills they learnt on site. From finishing this course, one of our trained operators is now looking to also complete the Wood Machining Mastery Course to further his education. This was a really valuable training session and our team is looking forward to completing the upcoming on-site training here at Sculptform.“
