Commitment to apprenticeships and training underpins Lanemark success

The success enjoyed by Lanemark Combustion Engineering Ltd . since its formation in the early-1980 ’ s can be attributed both to its production and technical capabilities and its commitment to training and personnel development . Jeff Foster , Sales Director at the Nuneaton-based organisation , which manufactures process gas burner systems that are typically used in the heating of process liquids and air in industries ranging from metal pre-treatment and brewing to the petrochemical sector – draws attention to the benefits of this approach .

“ Some 30 % of our current workforce either has been or still are apprentices ,” he says , “ reflecting our philosophy that remains strong to this day .”
Lanemark ’ s defined structure enables apprentices and trainees to progress in the company to meet both their own and the organisation ’ s needs . “ In all cases , apprentices start their careers with us in the workshop environment and are then given the opportunity to progress into different disciplines ,” adds Jeff Foster . He highlights Aidan Lewis – Technical Manager , Chris Wilson – Service Manager , James Keene – Machine / Fabrication Shop Supervisor , and Matthew Jee – Service Engineer , all of whom have committed to the Lanemark approach and have benefited as a direct result .
“ Our customers all look for the same capabilities ,” explains Paul Collier , Lanemark ’ s Managing Director . “ They require installations to operate at the highest levels of efficiency and reliability while also meeting ever-more stringent environmental objectives , and our choice of system designs all look to deliver in both areas .”
“ We are firmly of the view that people are our most valuable resource and are the most direct influence on our equipment , performance and success ,” concludes Paul Collier . “ Our history shows that this approach has been fundamental to our track record to date and I am sure will continue in the same way long into the future .”
