Dunham-Bush has supplied Cambridge Regional College (CRC) with its latest Lynx Fan Coil Units and complete control systems.

The systems have been installed in the workshops by apprentices on their Heating & Ventilating Level 2 course.

Working alongside employers, Cambridge Regional College provides comprehensive training for apprentices who attend the college on a day release programme over a period of four years. A significant part of the training at CRC is to offer simulated installation conditions. This has been greatly enhanced by Dunham-Bush providing its latest innovative products for full ‘hands on’ training as close to actual site conditions as possible.

Martin Johnson, programme leader at CRC, said: “It is well known that educational establishments do not always have the financial resources to equip their workshops as they would like. They often have to rely on the generosity of manufacturers such as Dunham-Bush to assist in supplying the equipment for apprentices to work with.”

Level 2 student apprentice Jon Whitworth said: “It’s good to see manufacturers helping the college by supplying equipment. We benefit by being able use and install the equipment in the workshops rather than on site.”

Managing director of Dunham-Bush, Mike Holding, said: “All of the team at Dunham-Bush are delighted to be able to support the next generation of H & V engineers.”

CRC will continue to require further equipment to keep up with the latest technologies and increasing student numbers. Only by collaborating and being supported by manufacturers like Dunham-Bush will CRC be able to train apprentices to the high levels that are now required by the H & V industry.
