This week our Cement Driver Apprentices visited Feldbinder at their operation in Sutton Bridge, near Spalding.

Feldbinder are one Europe’s largest manufacturers of specialist bulk transport containers and one of the main suppliers of our articulated bulk cement tankers.

Richard Bates from Feldbinder gave the group a tour of the factory and a fascinating insight into how these pressure vessels are designed, constructed and repaired.

The group asked lots of questions and enjoyed this unique opportunity to see the inside and workings of these key pieces of equipment.

The group were supported by three of the driver training mentors and even those with many years of experience said that they gained valuable knowledge on the day.

Everyone said it was a very educational and worthwhile experience and gave the Apprentices key operational experience.

Thanks to Darrell Collins who organised the visit.
