Machinery in land-based industries have a wide variety of uses and the ever-wider range of types and attachments now available makes them even more flexible and effective tools.
However, even the most experienced operators need to update their knowledge and skills to get the best out of new machinery. Safety is paramount: serious accidents can and do occur without proper training.
John Jones Training Services LTD are experts in machinery training and courses can be tailored to your company’s needs, whether in agriculture, amenity, forestry, industrial or horticulture industries.
