Paul WaitesDirector – WMS Waites Mechanical Services Ltd
Training was carried out at our own site. Graham Howard Consulting delivered the course content in a clear and understandable format. Our candidates were left feeling extremely confident in using our overhead crane and with a thorough understanding of lifting techniques and safe working practices and procedures. We will be re-booking Graham Howard Consulting for our refresher courses.
