The Operator Skills Hub
Providing innovative, future-focused training for plant operators.
Established in February 2021, the Operator Skills Hub is a training facility that supports the safe, efficient delivery of the UK's largest, digitally enabled construction projects. As a joint investment between Flannery Plant Hire [UK's leading plant hire provider] and Balfour Beatty [the largest construction contractor in the UK], the purpose-built facility is located in Birmingham, and here is where not one but three Tenstar Simulators are installed.
We sat down with Paul Allman, Business Development Director at Flannery Plant Hire, to hear what he had to say about simulation and the future of plant operator training.
"One of the Operator Skills Hub commitments is to equip learners with the right skills to safely deliver onsite. For us, simulation and simulators are great examples of how we can benefit from innovation and technology to promote best practise. Aside from this, it's clear that the whole industry is focused on the importance of sustainable solutions. Providing green solutions, increased safety and productivity are all high on the agenda. "
