NE ENGLAND UK : A POWERBASE PARTNERSHIP | Yesterday with Carl Cox (Thorne & Derrick – Sales Engineer), I was very privileged to be invited to the Grand Opening of the RelyOn UK Electrical Training Facility by Jess Churchman and Ryan Muscroft following introductions by Paul Livingstone from NOF – located within Redcar & Cleveland College the facility will assist the provision of a skilled workforce in HV via a collegiate and multi-faceted approach up to 33kV.
The official launch of the new electrical training Facility located at Redcar & Cleveland College has been a huge success and will assist the development of an electrically skilled workforce capable of rising to the challenges of energy transition.
The highly-engaged audience benefitted from the exciting vision for the Facility in driving Energy Transition across local Wind Energy, Hydrogen & CCUS projects provided by RelyOn UK’s Speakers Jason Faulkner (Deputy Chief Executive) and Colin Leyden (Regional Managing Director) – “essential skills for critical infrastructure.”
The Facility will provide both standard and tailored courses for clients including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Vestas and Siemens Energy.
Via Video Link the Mayor of the Tees Valley, Mr Ben Houchen, nut-shelled it perfectly: “TEES VALLEY, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE – thousands and thousands of local jobs for local people.”
Thorne & Derrick look forward to continuing to realise the possible as an integral supplier to the global renewable industry.
