Avant Tecno Hosts Multi-Dealership Training

/in , /by

Avant Tecno Hosts Multi-Dealership Training: Avant Tecno recently brought Technical Engineers from all of its UK dealerships together for a unique opportunity at the company’s global headquarters in Ylöjärvi, Finland. Over three intensive days, the group received exclusive training directly from the team behind Avant’s industry-leading innovation.

The trip began early on a Monday morning, departing Heathrow for Helsinki before travelling north to Avant’s state-of-the-art manufacturing hub. Far more than a standard factory tour, this was a multi-dealership technical training programme designed to deepen product knowledge, strengthen aftersales expertise, and build lasting connections across the Avant network.

Throughout the visit, engineers gained invaluable insight into both the latest advancements coming out of the factory and the brand’s rich engineering heritage. Hands-on sessions enabled attendees to work closely with Avant’s expert trainers, share best practice, and learn alongside colleagues from across the UK and Ireland. The result was not only enhanced technical understanding but also a stronger sense of collaboration and community across the dealership network.

True to Finnish tradition, downtime offered its own memorable experiences. Evenings were spent enjoying great food, relaxing in the sauna and, of course, braving a refreshing plunge into the lake, giving the group a real taste of local culture.

This investment in its people reflects an exciting period of growth for Avant Tecno UK. With its new, state-of-the-art UK headquarters opening last year, the business continues to strengthen its support for dealers and customers alike.

The Finland training event marks another step forward in ensuring that every dealership engineer has the skills, knowledge, and confidence to deliver the exceptional service Avant is known for.

John Spencer, Sales and Marketing Director for Avant Tecno UK, described the trip as an important investment in both people and partnerships:

“Our engineers are at the heart of the customer experience. This trip was all about giving them deeper, hands-on access to the machines and the people who build them. The shared learning, the conversations, and the relationships formed in Finland are just as valuable as the technical training itself. The knowledge they’ve brought back will directly enhance the support we offer customers across the UK and Ireland.”

The grand opening of the headquarters was celebrated with an event welcoming trade and local media, partners, and esteemed guests, including the Ambassador of Finland to the United Kingdom, Jukka Siukosaari.

It’s a proud day for everyone involved and a testament to our commitment to delivering the best for our dealers, customers, and the community.”

Since establishing its presence in the UK in 1999, Avant Tecno UK has witnessed consistent growth. Previously operating near Thetford, the company identified the need for a larger, modern facility to support its operations and meet increasing demand.

The launch event began with a keynote address from Raimo, who highlighted the strategic importance of the new headquarters and its role in enhancing Avant Tecno UK’s operational efficiency and customer service.

“This investment demonstrates our long-term commitment to the UK market,” Raimo said. “It’s an opportunity to strengthen our dealer network, provide world-class training end-users, dealers and staff, and continue delivering cutting-edge solutions to our customers.”

Other speakers at the launch event included representatives from project partners Churchmanor Estates, LSI Architects, and SEH French, who detailed the project’s journey from conception to completion. They discussed the collaborative efforts and innovative techniques used to ensure the building met Avant’s high standards for quality and sustainability.

Ambassador Jukka Siukosaari, representing Finland at the event, praised Avant Tecno as an example of Finnish innovation and global excellence. During his speech, the Ambassador emphasised the importance of government support in helping Finnish companies like Avant expand internationally.

Guests at the event were treated to a guided tour of the new facility, offering a first-hand look at its innovative features. From the spacious training rooms to the automated warehouse systems, the headquarters highlights Avant Tecno UK’s focus on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.

Following the tour, attendees gathered for a networking lunch, further strengthening the connections between Avant, its partners, and the local community.

As Avant Tecno UK settles into its new home, the company remains focused on its core mission: delivering high-quality, innovative solutions that empower its customers.
