As part of a progressive training programme all our engineers now hold IPAF certification for MEWPS (mobile elevated work platforms) including the use of harness and fall arrest equipment.

We are planning on organising a motorbike track day at either Oulton Park or Mallory Park probably the last weekend in September. Russell and his sons Colin and Daniel will undoubtedly be leading the field and we would be interested to hear from any suppliers or customers that would like to join in or attend as spectators. Whilst Russell has plenty of very fast bikes he will not share so you will need to organise your own bike. We are trying for a no noise restriction open pit lane day. For spectators there will be a refreshments marquee, plenty of seating and a guided tour of the facilities with photo opportunities. Interested parties please get in touch.
