FAQs

Which machines do you assess on for distillery work?
Typically telehandler (cask handling), forklift, MEWP for tun-room access, abrasive wheels for cooperage. We assess on the machines already on your Westhill site, so operators are signed off against the exact controls, attachments and ground conditions they work on daily.
How far do you travel to Westhill?
22 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~35 mins via A944. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Westhill are still economic for us to run.
Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?
Yes — small cohorts work in Westhill because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.
How much does distillery training cost for a team in Westhill?
Day rates for distillery training typically fall inside the band the course brief lists. Cohort size, novice/refresher split and travel are the main drivers — we send a fixed price, not a day rate × headcount.
