Bandvulc Tyres - more than just hot air!
A record number of Bandvulc employees have been celebrating the successful completion of their National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), in team leading.
The delivery and training provided by the College has motivated and encouraged the company to further develop the skills of their employees.
Bandvulc employee, Stacie Pirret said: "The training really was of a high standard. I found it incredibly useful as the trainer was always on hand to offer regular support and guidance. Though, it wasn't just about work we also had a lot of fun doing it."
