Who needs machinery refresher training?

The very short answer is everyone using machinery needs refresher training every 3-5 years irrespective of age, experience and qualifications. HSE Guidance also states that operators who ’stand-in‘ occasionally for the regular operator should undertake refresher training at least every three years. In all other cases, training should be within 5 Years. You can visit the HSE website to see what they recommend regarding woodworking machinery training refresher courses.

To get a quote for your training need just complete the enquiry form stating number of people to be trained and the number and type of machine to be trained on. We will then get back to you with a price within 24 hours.

What happened to Wadkin?

At its peak, Wadkin employed hundreds of engineers and dealt with multiple distributors around the world. Sadly the company closed in 2009. AMS directors Stephen McGloin and Steve Foster were directors at Wadkin, before deciding to go it alone in 2007 (two years before Wadkin went under).

When Wadkin closed they went on to buy the intellectual property rights to Wadkin’s woodworking machinery.
