MAKING THE GRADE
Brighouse-based window
manufacturer Quickslide is
celebrating after 58 of its
production staff were presented with their certificates
for completing an NVQ in
‘Performing Manufacturing
Operations’ (PMO).
“Therefore, we raised our game
and improved the skills of our
employees by putting 58 of them
on a course with Track Training.”
The PMO NVQ Diploma covers
the skills and knowledge in one
or more of a wide variety of manufacturing activities. Assessors
looked for many key indicators of
competent behaviour, including
controlling manufacturing operations and inspecting the quality of
a finished product.
Michael explained that it was
important to remember the
operator in what has become an
increasingly automated industry.
“By putting our employees on a
course, we know that they are
critical of the manufacturing process from when the order comes
in to when the window leaves on
the back of a lorry. And, ultimately, our customers will benefit
from that.”
‘Our success hinges on
the ability of our staff to
make some of the best
windows in the industry’
Quickslide is known for its
sliding sash windows and the
company has been instrumental in
making this former niche product
popular while manufacturing a
wide range of other styles of windows and doors.
“Our success hinges on the ability of our staff to make some of
the best windows in the industry,”
explained Quickslide’s managing
director Michael Connor.
