Kocurek Welcomes ConstructionSkills
On 23 September, ConstructionSkills training adviser Martin Morrell and eight students from The National Construction College at Bircham Newton spent the day on the Kocurek factory floor learning the processes and technique’s employed in converting hydraulic excavators into high reach demolition machines.
The students were: Adam Gadie, CLS Demolition; Sean Welsh and Ryan Redmond of J. Bryan (Victoria) Ltd; Steven Wray, Armac Demolition; Liam O’Brien of G. O’ Brien; Kyle Coleman, KDC Demolition; Travis Noblett, JP Demolition; and Cameron Peel, W&M Thompson (Earthworks) Ltd.
Hosted by Kocurek Excavators’ general manager Brian Carroll, the visit was part of the demolition operative apprenticeship programme that gives students a unique insight into the manufacture and operation of demolition machines.
Kocurek has supported the initiative over the last six years and is looking forward to welcoming the next student intake to its Ipswich facility next year.
