WSUK Training sessions at Myerscough College

APL WSUK Finalists enjoyed a tremendous two-day training session at Myerscough College.

Mark Youde director of The Landscape Company delivered sessions that covered the whole build of the project, so competitors learnt first-hand what was expected of them and how to schedule their works.

They were joined by representatives from Steintec and Landscape Plus, and other WSUK sponsors Marshalls, Makita, J A Jones and CED all contributed product to help with the training.

A huge thanks to them and well done to all who took part.

We hope you found it useful.

Good Luck....
