Our Birmingham centre ran a full and varied programme this week, including:

Weekly Highlight: Conversion Training Across Every Route
Conversion training was the thread running through this week. Well over a dozen candidates converted onto a new truck type: Reach Truck and Counterbalance back-to-back conversions, PPT conversions in Birmingham, and an A5 Pallet Stacker conversion for a client in Nantwich.
Conversion training builds on the experience operators already have, helping teams widen their skills without starting from scratch. It’s something we deliver at both of our centres and at your site, with onsite training bringing the course to the equipment your team already uses.
