Just got back from viewing some of our students’ engineering presentations.  It’s very inspiring to see another generation of students adding real value to their employers through vocational products.  What struck me was a theme for productivity improvement.  Most projects involve an improvement in efficiency or a reduction of waste.  These are real savings that will improve their employers’ bottom lines.  It’s the best possible advert for proper vocational training: theory complementing practical application.  Programmes that deliver real, measurable benefits during and after the course.  Well done to the students.  They are proving themselves to be valuable assets to their employers and great ambassadors for a technical career.  Goodness knows the sector needs them.

The new trails at Cannock Chase are finally open and boy, the hard work the Chase Trails guys have put in has paid off. Some super sweet downhill singletrack awaits you.

Seriously, this has to be one of the top trail spots in the UK now and the best bit is that it’s easy to get to!

Check it out.
