Brooklands College

Brooklands college races ahead with system store solutions
 

Brooklands College, one of the largest engineering, motorsport, manufacturing and Aerospace academies in the UK looked to System Store Solutions to create a user-friendly, practical environment in their workshops to aid tutors in continuing to offer excellent practical training to its student body.

Dave McLoughlin, Senior Lecturer at Brooklands College and his team of educators offer a series of courses in Motorsport Engineering, which have led many of their students into careers with F1 teams.

Mr McLoughlin first met System Store Solutions at Autosport 2003 and found the team’s knowledge in the industry was extensive, since many of its clients were involved in motorsport. He also found the product range manufactured by Italian market leader Fami to be of a very high standard and purchased a few of the items on the stand for testing.

Brooklands College, based in Weybridge, Surrey is committed to providing the best engineering education in the country and has recently expanded their offer by introducing a £7.5 million development to its facility, including up-grading and renewing its workshop facilities and storage capacity. Once System Store Solutions gained the green light to re-vamp the workshops and storage areas, a constant “hands-on” approach from day one and the extremely professional advice in the design stage assured Dave McLoughlin and his team they had made the right decision. The whole project ran like clockwork.

The two main areas refurbished were the training workshop and the fabrication shop. System Store Solutions played a key part in the design and the product specification, offering in many cases, tailor-made products to accommodate every need at Brooklands College. The project was a monumental success and will play an important part in ensuring that Brooklands College continues to offer the impeccable standard of education in the motorsport, motor vehicle and manufacturing industries.

“We got real value for money and fantastic service” says Mr McLoughlin. “Brooklands College has absolute confidence in System Store Solutions and found the company to be extremely versatile and professional. I would gladly recommend them to anyone”.

The official opening of the new facilities will take place in February 2008 and will be attended by the Lord Mayor and VIPs from the world of Formula 1.
