A new training studio to help inspire the next generation of air conditioning engineers, plumbers, and medical gas technicians has been unveiled by copper pipe supplier Lawton Tubes.
The Coventry-based business, which supplies copper tubing and fittings to more than 40 countries, has transformed its former 1940s boardroom into a modern recording studio for training sessions.
The space will see Lawton Tubes collaborating with experienced installers, colleges and trade associations to facilitate practical “how to” training sessions, that will also be featured on the firm’s YouTube channel.
Demonstrations will range from the basics of copper pipe and its characteristics, through to prepping, soldering and pressing pipes; as well as exploring modern tools and other practical advice aimed at the plumbing, air conditioning and medical gas sectors.
Robert Lawton, Marketing and Sales Director at Lawton Tubes, said: “Our old boardroom played host to some big decisions over the years that enabled our business to grow exponentially, and we are hoping its new use will play a part in doing the same in terms of inspiring new careers across the industry.
“The best part is it will be freely available to training centres, colleges and trade associations to share with students and members alike – as the content we produce will complement and enhance college syllabuses.”
