Oxfordshire - Stackers Training

This month, we have been providing training for one of our customers based in Hook Norton.

Hook Norton is a beautiful village in North Oxfordshire. It lies 4.5 miles north east of Chipping Norton and is close to the Cotswold hills.

Hook Norton is home to Hook Norton Brewery which was founded in 1849 and is an important architectural example of a Victorian tower brewery, as well as containing a working Victorian steam engine. The brewery has a museum that includes a section on the history of the village. For more information on the brewery and it’s history click on the link below:

As well as training in Hook Norton, we have provided courses at our training centre near Banbury and also on customer premises in Banbury, Enstone, Abingdon and Didcot.

RTITB has recently celebrated 20 years of the National Operator Registration Scheme (NORS) database which verifies and records key lift truck operator training details.

All candidates that we train are registered on the NORS database and provided with an RTITB certificate and/or e-card (depending on requirement).The RTITB trained operators remain on the database for three years. After this time, refresher training must be completed for the operator to remain on the register. This helps to make sure that the operator maintains the relevant skills and knowledge to operate equipment safely.

It is therefore important that trainees fill out the candidate registration forms carefully at the start of their course to ensure we have the current information to submit to RTITB. Any missing data could mean that their training record cannot be processed and registered onto the NORS database.

RTITB’s Lift Truck Operator Training Database Celebrates 20 Years

Last week one of our instructors was training on customer premises in Daventry on their pedestrian reach truck and pedestrian pallet trucks.

In the 18th century Daventry, now just off the M1, was a thriving coaching town, but business dried up after the London and Birmingham Railway opened in 1838, bypassing Daventry.

Grand Georgian coaching inns like the Dun Cow on Brook Street still contribute to Daventry’s townscape, where there’s also a rare Georgian Church and a Moot Hall from 1768, all reflecting the prosperity of the coaching days.

High over the town’s east flank is the 200-metre Borough Hill, capped with prehistoric hillforts, and used by the BBC as a broadcasting station for most of the 20th century.

Our other instructors were working on customer premises in Banbury and Milton Park, Didcot providing novice training on the counterbalance truck and conversion training on the Very Narrow Aisle truck.
