Commercial training opportunities

Epwin Window Systems has launched additional training courses to support fabricators that are members of its Approved Commercial Manufacturers scheme.

Katie Allman, commercial marketing manager at Epwin Window Systems, said: “ACM members have access to wide-ranging commercial support to help them extend their knowledge, drive best practice and grow their businesses. The extended training menu offers a range of courses covering a wide variety of commercial subjects and are all available to watch on-demand via our Connect portal.

“Live, in person courses are useful. But we know that our members are busy people who may not have time to travel to a venue to attend a course. Our range of courses run on Microsoft Teams for customers who want to attend live and ask questions. They are then available on-demand for customers to watch at their convenience.”

The latest courses are Limitation of Liability and Pitfalls of Contracting. Both of the hour-long courses are led by Geraldine Fleming, a quantity surveyor whose career began with a major contractor.

She lectures regularly for many organisations and professional associations and presents around 50 seminars per year. She also specialises in giving contractual advice across all levels of the construction industry.

Stanley Richardson, commercial sales manager at Emplas, recently attended the Limitation of Liability webinar.

“The webinar was a good insight into liability and how it can be incorporated into our contracts,” he said. “It was something we hadn’t previously considered and will definitely be making use of in future contracts.”
