A Weapon for every Surveyor – Data Loggers!
Something a bit different from the usual rantings and ramblings which we normally include within our weekly correspondence, as this week involves a product review! The Blue Maestro data logger in fact and a big thank you to PCA member Preservation Treatments, who provided this for our very own James Berry to test and review.

Apprenticeships: Invest in your Technicians
Why not look into a Specialist Apprenticeship Programme? There are many benefits to employing an apprentice from filling skills gaps to increasing productivity and improving staff retention. In fact, statistics show that 92% believe it has led to a more motivated and satisfied workforce – so what are you waiting for?
Feedback has been fantastic so far and we are looking forward to welcoming the next intake of candidates on 12-15 November 2019.

In response to the restrictions being placed over the use of biocides, which has affected the availability of timber protection chemicals, this course has been a welcome initiative for the hundreds who have attended and is proving a huge success ONE YEAR ON!!
So why not get your technicians trained and get ahead of the game! Candidates also have the chance to join our Professional Users of Biocides Register.
