Ariens invests in more apprentices

January 15, 2017/in Press Release/by Admin

Ariens Company has a rich and successful history in engineering in the UK, manufacturing the Countax and Westwood brands of garden tractors and accessories. To ensure the continuation of this success into the future the company recognizes the need to invest in the next generation of British engineers, to build on its culture of nurturing the best talent. The Ariens Company Apprenticeship Programme started in 2014 and the aim is to recruit two new apprentices every year to ensure and maintain this success. Tanya Bezuidenhout, Ariens HR Manager UK & Scandinavia, says:

“Developing new talent within engineering is key to the business’s success. With the current skills shortage in engineering, we’re proud to show our commitment in this economic climate, by making long term investment in new talent, offering extensive training and career development opportunities. It is so rewarding to witness our apprentices grow in confidence and become skilled engineers. We’ve been really pleased with how things have been going and we’re now looking to recruit two more apprentices to grow our talent pool further.”

Ariens Company currently has three apprentices across different areas of the business ranging from Tool Making to Electrical Engineering: Charlie Crago (20) Tool Maker Apprentice – Level 3 NVQ Extended Diploma in Engineering Toolmaking; Max Tod (20) Manufacturing Mechanical Engineer Apprentice – Level 3 NVQ Extended Diploma in Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering and Christopher Duckham (18) Electrical Engineer Apprentice – Level 3 NVQ Extended Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Although each apprentice position is full-time, they also spend one day a week at college studying for a professional qualification.

“I was attracted to the apprenticeship straightaway.” Says Charlie Crago. “Its well-developed pathway meant I was learning from an expert who would take a personal interest in my development and skills.” Max Tod endorses this: “I’m so glad I decided to give an apprenticeship a go. It’s a great way to gain experience on the job and quickly develop new skills.”

Ariens say the success of the Countax and Westwood brands is down to the people who build the tractors. Each and every employee is passionate about Ariens products and they continuously work to drive quality at each stage of the manufacturing process

Polaris officially announces at the LAMMA show that all new Polaris ATVs and Side by Side vehicles (excluding the Youth range) will be fitted with the CESAR ATV System. Security for ATVs and Utility vehicles has become a growing concern and as Europe’s leading All-Terrain Vehicle manufacturer, Polaris has taken this positive action towards protecting customers’ vehicles. The company has formed a new partnership with the CESAR Scheme – the official security initiative of the CEA (Construction Equipment Association) and the AEA (Agricultural Engineers Association) and Datatag, who are the technology partner behind CESAR. CESAR, is already widely recognized on larger construction and agricultural equipment and since launch over 225,000 machines have been registered and are protected with CESAR.

The CESAR System is fitted to new Polaris vehicles by authorised Polaris dealers, and comprises both visible and covert markings which are a real deterrent to the prospective thieves. Should a vehicle be taken, quick police access to the CESAR database provides an instant trace on stolen equipment via Datatag’s 24/7 UK Secure Contact Centre. The system is recognized by national and local government agencies and supported by the Home Office and National Police Chiefs’ Council.

Statistics show that a CESAR registered machine is four times less likely to be stolen and six times more likely to be recovered if it is taken. CESAR is approved by all major insurers and the NFU Mutual for example can offer a 12.5% discount with their NFU 5X farm machinery product policy if your ATV or side by side is fitted with the CESAR system. When you purchase a new Polaris ATV or side by side utility vehicle it comes complete with the CESAR system already fitted and there are no annual fees or charges and no recovery fees should your machine be stolen and recovered.
