Powered Access- Lavendon Access Services unveils work experience scheme

The firm recently approached the Bedfordshire and Luton Education Business Partnership (EBP) to create a work experience programme. Paul Armstrong, a student at Northfield Technology College, is the first person to complete a two-week placement at the firm’s Panther Luton depot. During his time with the company he was given an insight into the day-to-day operations of the business, and practical and theoretical engineering experience.Paul enjoyed his placement so much that he is now considering entering the industry as an apprentice. He said: “I didn’t really know much about powered access, and had always aimed to work in the automotive industry. The engineering team at Panther Luton have taught me a lot over my two weeks here, and I aim to begin an apprenticeship at Lavendon Access Services once I’ve completed my studies.”The Panther depot’s area service manager, Tim Williams, said: “It is important to continue investing in young people in this economic climate, and also keep on introducing new skills. The apprenticeship scheme is a positive step and something I hope will only gain momentum across the company.”
