A training scheme for trailer engineers by a Lichfield business has been given the seal of approval by the company’s major clients.

Bullwell Trailer Solutions will now roll the scheme out to all 54 of their mobile and on-site engineers after a successful trial.

The training scheme is the first in the UK designed specifically for trailer engineers. Consisting of three tiers – bronze, silver and gold – the scheme will train all employees to a minimum of bronze level by the end of 2011.

Steve Pye, who created the training scheme, said:

> “Ensuring staff keep their skills and knowledge up to date and that they remain working to the best of their ability is vital for our business. This comprehensive training programme has already proved beneficial to Bullwell in its initial trial period and we are delighted to be expanding the programme so that it incorporates all trailer engineers.  
>  
> “Providing training for employees not only helps them develop their skills and knowledge, but it is also motivational and a building block for our continued success. Training plays an important role in ensuring Bullwell continues to provide a consistent high level of service and is something the company takes very seriously.”

At bronze level, all employees will be assessed on their understanding of the testing criteria outlined by Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) and follow the obligatory safety standards enforced at the Bullwell site. The training is mainly theoretical and requires a 75 per cent pass rate in a final exam.

So far 24 employees have completed the bronze level of training during the trial period and will now move onto the silver stage which sees engineers sent on manufacturer training schemes to specialise in their varying servicing criteria. At gold level engineers will acquire a class I HGV license. 

Gary Bulley, managing director at Bullwell Trailer Solutions, added:

> “This training scheme has the potential to be recognised by the industry at large. Steve Pye was instrumental in developing the standard times the industry uses today and we are very priviledged to have him working within our team. Looking forward, we can all see the potential for this training scheme to become a nationally accredited programme.”
