Into training
March 1st 2008

Ploughcroft opened a construction and training centre in Brighouse in 2005, primarily to train its staff in the latest building methods and health and safety requirements.

It now offers training both to local construction companies and to companies from as far afield as Belfast, London and Edinburgh.

Chris Hopkins, MD, says "Companies are now queuing up to benefit from our expertise and our facilities, which include a roofing training workshop, plastering bays, scaffold tower and solar installation rigs.

The company offers NVQ levels 2 and 3 in roofing, slating and tiling, scaffold tower courses and training in manual handling, working at height, trade and supervisory skills and general health and safety.
