CLEARVIEW HITS THE ROAD FOR DHF’ S TRAINING LAUNCH

Two men walked into a bar … It may sound like the start of a joke but it was actually the start of something that will seriously change the landscape of building hardware training.

One night turned into 18 months of development and the UK’ s first Ofqual-regulated and ABBEaccredited qualifications dedicated to the building hardware industry was born.

The Door & Hardware Federation( DHF) has shifted the gears of professional training in our industry. Held at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, its launch event put the spotlight( or should that be headlights?) on competence, collaboration, and the future of the sector – and DIJ was there to experience it first-hand.
Innovation on display – in more ways than one
The museum proved the perfect backdrop, with some of the most iconic vehicles in British automotive history reminding attendees that innovation is often the engine of progress. Inside, almost 100 industry professionals were all focused on the future of competence in the sector.
