GAS BURNER SYSTEMS COMMITMENT TO APPRENTICESHIPS ANd TRAINING
UNdERPINS LANEMARK SUCCESS Lanemark Combustion Engineering explains the importance of apprenticeships and training
attributed not only to its production and technical capabilities, but also to its ongoing commitment to training and personnel development. Jeff Foster, sales director at the Nuneaton-based organisation, which manufactures process gas burner systems that are used in a range of industries, draws attention to the benefits of this approach: “Some 30% of our current work force either has been or still are apprentices,” he said, “and this reflects on our philosophy that remains strong to this day.” Lanemark operates a defined structure that
T
enables apprentices and trainees to progress in the company in a way that meets both their own and the organisation’s needs.
“In all
cases, apprentices start their careers with us in the workshop environment and are then given the opportunity to progress into different
he success enjoyed by Lanemark Combustion Engineering Ltd. since its formation in the early 1980’s can be
disciplines,” added Foster. He highlights Aidan Lewis - technical manager, Chris Wilson – service manager, James Keene – machine/ fabrication shop supervisor and service engineer, Matthew Jee – all of whom have committed to the Lanemark approach and have benefited as a direct result. By its very nature, Lanemark operates in a
specialist sector of the manufacturing and processing industries. The company’s burner systems have always been designed to meet key customer objectives, typically in the heating of process liquids and air, and by enabling specialist skills to be developed and retained in-house, its position in this highly challenging field can be sustained. “Our customers – whether they are
operating in a micro-brewery or a large-scale petrochemical processing plant – all look for the same capabilities,” explained Paul Collier, Lanemark’s managing director.
“They require installations to operate at the highest levels of FE-DEC16-LANEMARK:FE-DEC16-LANEMARKS 1/5/17 2:30 PM Page 1 Gas Process Burners

efficiency and reliability, while also meeting ever-more stringent environmental objectives, and our choice of system designs all look to deliver in both areas.” Importantly, the company has recognised
and overcome the challenges of the last 12 months. Foster said: “This has included the opening of a new manufacturing facility close to our main factory which has provided sufficient additional space for us to separate production operations more effectively.” “We are firmly of the view that people are
our most valuable resource and are the most direct influence on our equipment, performance and success,” concluded Collier.
