  1. 10 Years as Senior Trainer

It with pride and pleasure that I have now been a CORREX senior trainer for 10 years, June 2014. The opportunity came about by chance in the absence of a trainer at the time a course was due to be delivered. I was asked by the then MD of CORREX Bob Crundwell, could I do the training at the Elcometer facility in Manchester for 10 new ICATS trainers? 
At the time, my wife Jo and I sat on the Highways 19A committee on behalf of contractors, as was known by Bob. I quickly learned the subject material and delivered the course, which was enjoyed by all. 10 years later, still here and looking forward to the future with CORREX.

  • ICATS 20 Years Old

ICATS has just turned 20 years of age, how amazing. Before the ICATS courses were written there was no formal industrial painter training in the UK. A structured learning course was required by the large asset owners. One that would help improve Health and Safety practices on site and in house, one that would improve preparation and painting of surfaces, and reduce injury. Delivering quality work, safely. Where ICATS was primarily designed for Highways, it is now embraced by every part of our industry. I look forward to the next 20 years.

  1. Going from Strength to Strength

As the 20th birthday of ICATS comes and then goes into its 21th year, it has become the request and mandated terms for painting of many structures and assets across the UK and now globally. Including, roads and rail, bridges and buildings, floors and equipment.

Many thanks to the continuing support of our clients and welcome to those about to join us. We have all had a serious impact on our most impressive trade, great stuff everyone.
