Thorne & Derrick Certificated by 3M for Medium Voltage Training & Product Familiarisation
Published 20 Aug 2024
Thorne & Derrick have successfully hosted the 3M Electrical “Train the Trainer” Programme and are now the first Certificated UK Distributor for this innovative scheme introduced to support MV Cold Shrink Cable Accessory installation competency.
T-t-T has been conceived by 3M to empower their Approved UK Distributors to deliver Product Training and Demonstrations to customers and ensure the highest levels of installation quality and safety are achieved – reducing cable failures, increasing reliability and securing both the revenue and reputation of asset managers and owners.
We had the privilege of welcoming industry expert Allan Russell (Application Engineering Specialist at 3M United Kingdom) who provided excellent tuition and guidance to our team of Technical Sales Engineers on the installation process of 11/33/66kV Cold Shrink Joints and Terminations.
The focus for the 2 days intensive session was the advancement of education, skills and technical knowledge for our Sales Team to best support the Medium Voltage Cable Accessory requirements of all industries – we covered all practical aspects of Cable Preparation & Accessory Installation for the 3M Cold Shrink ranges of Joints & Terminations covering voltage classes 11kV, 33kV and 66kV.
“The Train-the-Trainer concept enables Thorne & Derrick, as a Specialist Distributor for 3M Electrical since 1985, to bolster our customer service and field support to clients and is the perfect complement to our recent appointment as Approved 3M Electrical Kitting Partners – this is a further formidable personal achievement for Jonny Hewitt and another business accolade for Thorne & Derrick,” comments Chris Dodds (Sales & Marketing Manager – Thorne & Derrick).
