Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Instantor has invested in a brand new, dedicated training and demonstration vehicle. The Instantor Mobile Training Academy will be visiting trade counters, merchants’ head offices and plumbing colleges, in the UK and Ireland, to carry out expert training and product demonstrations on-site.
The innovative mobile unit is designed to provide a deeper understanding of Instantor press solutions and the Tucson Pumps portfolio in a dynamic, hands-on environment. Installers, merchants and students will have the opportunity to experience the ease and efficiency of making press joints first-hand in the dedicated demonstration area. Furthermore, Instantor’s latest competency training will also be available with the opportunity for installers to receive ID cards that demonstrate their approved proficiency in press fitting Instantor products.
Andy Burton, divisional marketing manager – Heating & Plumbing Division at the Sanbra Group, said: “The launch of our Mobile Training Academy is the latest milestone for Instantor and takes our commitment to supporting trade professionals to a whole new level. Not only will the mobile academy showcase how our products can deliver significant time and cost savings, it will also provide the latest competency training for Instantor installers and ensure merchants can stock our products with the confidence that they will provide the best solutions for their customers.
“Beyond this, the Mobile Training Academy presents us with the opportunity to support the next generation of plumbing and heating engineers. The vehicle will enable us to bring our state-of-the-art training to the doorsteps of colleges, giving students and apprentices the opportunity to gain experience on the benefits of press fittings first-hand. Inspiring young installers is an exciting prospect, and we look forward to having more opportunities to do so throughout 2025.”
Additionally, the vehicle enables Instantor to perform health checks on Instantor Press Tools, ensuring that installers who already use the Instantor Press System can maintain their tools in the best condition. It will also provide refreshments, allowing visitors time to engage with the Instantor team over a hot drink and a bite to eat.
