Tool Monster Tech Tour Hits Newtownards Campus

Plumbing and Electrical apprentices enjoyed a skills day with a difference when popular YouTubers PB Plumber, Nick Bundy and CP Utility Solutions visited SERC’s Newtownards Campus for the Tool Monster Tech Tour.

The Tool Monster Tech Tour in partnership with KNIPEX and Velocity Pro Gear, two of the biggest tool and bag companies in Europe, offered the apprentices and trainees the opportunity to get hands-on with state of the art equipment, try out new tools, put their skills to the test in competitions, and visit the pop-up shop which offered apprentice discounts.

Sam Lyttle, Deputy Head of School Construction, Engineering and Skills for Work said, “We were delighted to welcome the Tool Monster Tech Tour to SERC.   It provided our Level 2 and Level 3 Plumbing and Electrical apprentices and trainees with an enriching learning experience and gave them access to popular YouTubers, Nick Bundy Electrical, PB Plumber and CP Utility Solutions.   The guys have a fantastic following with some 150,000 subscribers between them.   They are well known to our students who were excited to meet and engage with them in what turned out to be a fun skills day.”

SERC’s full-time open day is on Wednesday 8 March, 4.00pm – 7.00pm at Bangor, Downpatrick, Lisburn and Newtownards Campuses.  Visit www.serc.ac.uk to unlock your future #BetterOffAtSERC.
