Only ‘state of the art’ will do at MGS Training
MGS Training Ltd, with its headquarters located at Bargeddie in Glasgow and its 40-acre training centre at Heartlands just off the M80 between Glasgow and Edinburgh, has invested in three new pieces of Volvo construction equipment for its twenty year-old, CPCS- accredited training school. Since Proprietor, Colin McGhee started up his business twenty years ago, he and his team of instructors have successfully trained thousands of plant operators for their CPCS accreditations from one of the oldest training academies in Scotland. “We not only cover Scotland offering courses here at our Heartlands facility, but we will also visit sites to conduct training modules all over the country and abroad,” explains Colin. “Over the years, we have established a strong relationship with long standing clients – even the larger companies such as Balfour Beatty and Bam Nuttall who continuously send us, or ask us to go out and train, their operatives.”
The machines that Colin McGhee has invested in are a new Volvo A25G articulated hauler which replaces a four year-old D-model, and a twenty-two tonne Volvo EC220E, replacing a competitive model of similar size. More uniquely, the third unit, an EW180E wheeled excavator, happens to be the first of its kind to be delivered into the Scottish plant market. “The EC220E is a good optimum-sized excavator to train operators on,” says Colin. “Bringing the ‘rubber duck’ into our training fleet opens up another plant category for us and there are not many schools who can boast of having the latest technology found on Volvo’s A25G articulated hauler. Having these three brand new, ‘state of the art’ product types available for machine operators to train on will give us a competitive edge for providing up-to-date machine operator training,” he says. “Another reason for opting for the Volvo brand is SMT GB’s ability to support the product.
