Lift Turn Move Stage First Motor School
Lift Turn Move (LTM) has just staged its first full at base CM Lodestar Motor School, which was attended by 16 people representing many sectors of the industry. The course was presented by Dave Ward and John Jones.
Jones says: “There’s a stronger demand than ever for Motor Schools from our clients, who want their staff and regular crews to be fully clued up on all the maintenance issues. We’d wanted to run Motor Schools for some time, but we had to wait until the current series of building modifications and expansion was completed before we had the space.”
Numbers were deliberately limited to 16 places. Jones explained that their past experiences proved that this was the ideal number to allow a one or two person presentation team to give everyone sufficient individual attention. It was also a nice ‘friendly’ number that worked well in LTM’s new training room.
Many leading rental companies were represented including Star Events, ELP, DBN, Summit Steel, JustLite, PRG Birmingham and UK Rigging. Venues such as Wolverhampton Civic also attended.
Topics covered included stripping and rebuilding motors, troubleshooting, common problems, the effect of rain and other environmental elements, double braking and operational practicalities like the correct use of chain bags.
Dave Ward concentrated on the more technical subjects, while John Jones discussed general motor issues, rigging and industry issues and product support.
LTM kept the cost of the course as contained as possible, with attendees paying £200 each plus their travel expenses and overnight accommodation. Clients who spend over £10,000 with them received a discount and LTM treated everyone to a night out on the town, demonstrating traditional Scouse hospitality.
Jones says it was nice getting back into real training, they noticed a real change of attitude this time around compared to previous motor schools in which he has been involved. “It was clear that people really wanted to learn and they came up with plenty of interesting, well thought out and relevant questions.”
The next LTM at base Motor School is planned for early 2007.
