Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?

Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.

Will our Oldmeldrum site suit on-site delivery?

Oldmeldrum sites are mostly distillery, cask yards, agri sheds, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A947.

Have you worked with sites near Oldmeldrum before?

Regularly — we work around Glen Garioch Distillery, Local farming co-ops, Pitmedden estate operators. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.

Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?

The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.

What happens if an operator fails?

We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.

Why teams in Oldmeldrum book this

Plant operator competence in Oldmeldrum is mostly about evidence. Managing Mobile Plant Training closes the gap between your operators' real-world ability and the certificate the auditor wants to see — without losing the operators for a week off-site.

Oldmeldrum on the ground: Formartine distillery town surrounded by mixed arable estates. Typical buildings: distillery, cask yards, agri sheds.

Audit findings this prevents

Traffic plan drawn at tender stage and never updated as the site phases changed
Competence assumed from a card — never physically observed on your machine
No incident-investigation template, so the same near-miss happens at every project
