Pump Businesses Committed to Improve Local Training for Young People

January 11th 2019

We have joined forces with three of the world’s biggest investors in pump research and development to supply resource and equipment to NETA Training Group as part of the training provider’s ambitious plans to upgrade its facilities.

The initiative will see world leading pump manufacturers Crane ChemPharma & Energy, ITT Goulds Pumps and Grundfos work alongside Tomlinson Hall to provide students with the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of how up to date pump technologies work.

David Thompson, Strategic Business Development Coordinator at NETA said: “We are delighted to be working together with our suppliers to bring this initiative to the table. With thousands of different pumps on the market we are providing our students with the opportunity to handle some of the best on the market – that all serve different purposes – increasing their knowledge and understanding of what various pumps are made from, why that material has been chosen and the different fluids that they can handle.

“We are keen to update the facilities to set them up like a real-life working scenario allowing students to not only learn their craft, but also prepare them for working in a business, ensuring the transition from training into a working environment is seamless.”

Work is already underway in repairing and refurbishing a series of pumps currently being housed in the training facilities to upgrade them to suitable working conditions. The three manufacturers will also be providing various pumps to the facilities over the course of the next few months. The training provider has plans to create a pump area that will be piped up for the students to use.

ITT Goulds Pumps has also committed to offer training days for the students at NETA, based in Stockton-on-Tees. This will involve the students visiting the company’s new state of the art facilities located in Normanton which has the capacity to hold up to 50 students.  

Colin Simpson, Business Development Director at Tomlinson Hall said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for the companies to provide young talent with exposure to leading global brands through local distribution. We recognise the importance in equipping the next generation with the right tools to ensure their learning is the very best it can be. NETA has a proven track record in delivering technical training programmes to the very highest standards and, we are in an excellent position to launch this initiative having forged very strong relationships with our global pump manufacturers.”
