Last week the latest cohort of the Technical Development Programme undertook a number of modules relating to the Aggregates business. The topics covered were:

Day 1 – An introduction to the Aggregates business, presented by Martin Gardener; the role of an aggregates Technical Manager, presented by Mark Mitchelmore and Aggregates standards and specifications, presented by Mike Higgins.

Day 2 – A visit to Berkswell Quarry led by Andrew Barber.

Day 3 – An aggregate testing led by Dave Webb and the Technical team at Southam.

This was the first set of learning events since the programmes orientation day in October and it was great to see the enthusiasm carrying on into the modules.  TDPs picture from left to right:  Fraser Tannock, Emily Moon, Sean O’Donnell, Aaron Mcarthur, Jack Tipper and Luke Topp.
