Simmatic employees pass forklift training

As part of Simmatic Automation’s ongoing employee development training, Jordan and Ryan’s training course was delivered on site at Simmatic’s business premises by Forklift Licence Training. The training started around a laptop, in our training room, with a health & safety presentation. This was followed by a video, then they moved outside onto the practical part and assessment.
