At 17,000 sqft, the complex is unique in the industry, three times the combined square footage of our previous practical training academies in Hartlebury and Dagenham. To date, the development at the site represents a £500,000 capital investment by the business – with more to come as training environments and curriculums are being developed to cater for emerging renewable energy technologies.
The building is set up in stations to offer a variety of training modules such as carpentry, plumbing, and masonry as part of our building fabric services. FGAS, C02
, HVAC and BMS
diagnostics and repairs, and more are also on offer and sit within the mechanical, electrical, and refrigeration disciplines.
With Shutters, Gates & Doors being our fastest-growing self-delivered service, the
National Training Centre boasts
fully-functioning components to replicate real environments, allowing our engineers to gain practical expertise and compliance in a safe space that is akin to what they’ll find on our customer’s estates.
Our expansion of this service goes beyond simply access and security and helps to support our customers’ wider goals, whether that is providing branded and high-quality experience solutions for high-footfall areas, employee access, noise pollution solutions or even becoming energy efficient with shutters acting as thermal insulators to reduce heat loss.
More than that, with our focus on upskilling and cross-skilling our colleagues, we, on average, see a 76% first-time fix rate. This level of service sees our customers enjoy improved uptime and reliability whilst reducing costs (particularly when combined by a complementary Planned Preventative Maintenance offering).
This cross and upskilling is all made possible through the
significant investment in our National Training Centre, located in Stevenage, in May 2023, where we provide specialist Shutters, Gates & Doors training to our engineers.
Pete Nash, Head of Specialist Services at Arcus FM said, “As a people-led company, we always put our customers first and we introduced our shutters and gates team as our customers were requesting a more secure and reliable partner. Developing our own dedicated team has provided this and the feedback and further demand have been fantastic.
“Safety is a top priority at Arcus, and I’m pleased to be able to offer a service to our customers that helps keep their estates safe and secure.
“We are always looking to enhance our services and provide our customers with what they need to keep their estates running. With the opening of our National Training Centre, we’re able to provide our colleagues with the training and expertise to continue to provide an industry-leading service.”
