ARBROATH HIGH SCHOOL
Two former Arbroath High School pupils who are current 1st year apprentices with ourselves, attended at the school to give a talk on how maths is applied to engineering.
Liam McHardy, GlaxoSmithKline and Rory Taylor, Baker Hughes did a great job discussing this and showing measuring and calculations.
The school sent an e-mail in thanking the apprentices:
“Thank you so much again for getting Rory and Liam to come in and support us on Friday. We appreciate the time they gave up for us”
“What can I say ….. THEY WERE AMAZING! The pupils loved them and all thought they did a fantastic job. It was lovely to see them both again and hear how well they are getting on”
The school also sent in a lovely thank you card.
LATHE TRAINING COURSE – FEEDBACK
Instructor Donnie Smith carried out a Lathe Training course for an individual this week with all positive feedback 
“I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent training you provided on the lathe machine over the past two days. Your supportive and clear teaching methods have significantly enhanced my understanding and skills. I truly appreciate the time and effort you invested in my development.”
We run various courses including CNC training, multi-discipline and Abrasive Wheel.
