NEWS & EVENTS Transvac continues to inspire Nottingham University students For the 5th consecutive year, Transvac has opened its doors to a group of Nottingham University Students. Each year, students tour Transvac’s Derbyshire Head office to get a first- hand look at departments such as technical sales, process, R&D and manufacturing. It’s a great opportunity to see how newly-learned engineering skills can be applied in a UK based engineering SME. The tour was conducted by two previous UoN students (now Transvac employees) and a student currently on placement. Yet again, the tour was a great success and Transvac look forward to welcoming another student group next year. To enquire about tours, Ejector solutions and more please visit www.transvac.co.uk. Fulton achieves CPD certification for its new VSRT training course Fulton is delighted to confirm that its VSRT Steam Boiler Operation & Maintenance course has been certified by the CPD Certification Service as conforming to the continuing professional development principles. The news follows the company’s announcement in late-2018 that it had achieved similar CPD Certification status, but for its Vertical (J Series) Steam Boiler Operation & Maintenance course. Commenting for Fulton, aftercare and business development manager Jeff Byrne says: “You could be forgiven for thinking that achieving certified status for the VSRT course was easy as we had recently achieved similar for our vertical steam boiler course. However, given the radical design of our double-award-winning VSRT steam boiler and the fact that it was only launched in early-2018, it took months of extra assessments to achieve. We are therefore delighted to have gained certification for the training course so quickly.” www.fulton.co.uk. 158 PECM Issue 38 BevExpo 2019 New partnership!
