The combination of expert-led theory with hands-on practical experience creates impactful, long-lasting value for our customers and ensures operators have the confidence to apply what they learn out in the real world. Our unrivalled industry knowledge and firmly established heritage means there is no one better placed to provide enduring, high quality training that helps develop sector-leading engineers.”
Alongside the Technical Training Centre, the new building also houses multiple interactive spaces, a practical area, display area, and a customer handover space, helping to support the company’s expanding production in the UK by increasing its operational capacity.
Keith Day, Dennis Eagle’s managing director, added: “The newly opened facility provides the footprint and scope to help bolster our growing operations and further enhance our customer proposition. As well as increasing the space required to support production growth, it will allow us to showcase our world-class vehicle capability through interactive presentations, practical activities, and engaging environments, enabling customers to get hands-on with our products in a safe and controlled way. The expansion will act as an essential step forward in improving practical product knowledge and safety awareness among our customers and staff.”
The expansion of the company’s facilities is anticipated to create several new jobs in the local area, including roles for engineers, technicians, training, and administrative staff. Mr Day concluded: “As the UK’s leading provider of innovative RCVs and specialist vehicles, this new building further demonstrates our commitment to investing in Warwick and the UK, supporting new jobs in the area, providing a positive boost to the economy, and continuing our vital work towards creating safer, cleaner communities.”
