Econ Engineering has established a new training programme for the wider industry as part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing safety, efficiency and compliance in winter maintenance operations.

The initiative, launched under Econ’s Skills for Life continuous professional development initiative, includes a series of industry accredited training courses run in partnership with Lantra, the leading awarding body for land-based industries in the UK.

Delivered by experienced professionals, the one-day, in person courses are aimed at a range of professionals, including engineers, operators and trainers, giving them the knowledge and skills to maintain winter service vehicles safely and efficiently.

Steve Sinnott, Sales Director at Econ Engineering, said:

“Econ is already a Lantra approved training provider for Winter Service Operations Courses, offering access to a comprehensive range of courses and qualifications, and it is great to be evolving our already successful partnership further.

“By equipping teams with the right knowledge, this training helps increase return on investment, reduce downtime, improve service awareness, and enhance long-term operational efficiency. Proper training also minimises safety risks and ensures best practices are followed throughout the servicing and repair process. Lantra qualifications are government-approved, recognised by employers and insurers, and valid for five years. They are suitable for all abilities from novices to experienced operatives aged 16 and over and can also be taken as part of periodic refresher sessions for continuous professional development.”
