FAQs
- Have you worked with sites near Newburgh before?
- Regularly — we work around Newburgh aquaculture sites, Foveran estate, Trump International (nearby). That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
- Will our Newburgh site suit on-site delivery?
- Newburgh sites are mostly estate yards, aquaculture sheds, small contractor compounds, 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 A975.
- Do you deliver MEWP on-site in Newburgh?
- Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Newburgh, around 39 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.
- Will a principal accept this for a construction site?
- Yes — the certificate maps to the regs the principal's auditor cites, and we'll talk to the principal's HSE team directly if useful.
- Do you train outdoors year-round in Newburgh?
- Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.
