Instantor has invested in a new, dedicated training and demonstration vehicle. The Mobile Training Academy will be travelling around the UK and Ireland.
The Instantor Mobile Training Academy is set to be visiting trade counters, merchants’ head offices and plumbing colleges, in the UK and Ireland, to carry out training and product demonstrations on-site.
According to the company, the mobile unit is designed to provide “a deeper understanding of Instantor press solutions and the Tucson Pumps portfolio in a dynamic, hands-on environment”.
Installers, merchants and students will have the opportunity to experience making press joints first-hand in the dedicated demonstration area, it noted. The company also said that its latest competency training will also be available with the opportunity for installers to receive ID cards that demonstrate their approved proficiency in press fitting Instantor products.
Instantor added that the vehicle also enables the company to perform ‘health checks’ on its Press Tools, so that installers who already use the Instantor Press System can maintain their tools.
Andy Burton, divisional marketing manager of the heating and plumbing division at Sanbra Group, said: “The launch of our Mobile Training Academy is the latest milestone for Instantor and takes our commitment to supporting trade professionals to a whole new level. Not only will the mobile academy showcase how our products can deliver significant time and cost savings, it will also provide the latest competency training for Instantor installers and ensure merchants can stock our products with the confidence that they will provide the best solutions for their customers.
“Beyond this, the Mobile Training Academy presents us with the opportunity to support the next generation of plumbing and heating engineers. The vehicle will enable us to bring our state-of-the-art training to the doorsteps of colleges, giving students and apprentices the opportunity to gain experience on the benefits of press fittings first-hand. Inspiring young installers is an exciting prospect, and we look forward to having more opportunities to do so throughout 2025.”
