The CNC Training Academy appoints to further strengthen its offering

Mr Yeomans joined the Academy in April as a CNC trainer and will be responsible, along with the other members of the training team – Jeff Hart and Karen Early - for delivering the Fanuc, Heidenhain and Siemens CNC programmer courses. The increase in the Academy's headcount reflects, it says, the growing demand amongst UK and Irish manufacturers for professionally-delivered, cost-competitive and results-led CNC training. This latest appointment follows hard on the heels of the Academy reporting best-ever sales results, for 2013, and the announcement that, from summer 2014, it will double training capacity at its Mills CNC Technology Campus location to four modern and fully-equipped training rooms. Apprenticeship-trained and with vocational qualifications in mechanical engineering and advanced CNC programming, Mr Yeoman has held a number of production engineer and applications engineer positions in different UK manufacturing companies. And he says he seen first-hand "the power and potential of training, and how upgrading and improving employees' skills-sets can deliver real, tangible and immediate commercial benefits". He adds: "I am delighted to have joined the CNC Training Academy and to be part of such a dynamic and progressive team. The Academy has an excellent reputation in the market and I am keen to help further strengthen its position."
