A recent Buck & Hickman Mobile Centre of Excellence visit to Brammer’s customer EDF Energy’s Torness station has marked a double celebration for Buck & Hickman. As well as notching up the specialist tool and personal protective equipment (PPE) vehicle’s 200th customer event, the visit also highlighted the benefits of partnership working between the sister companies, allowing Buck & Hickman to showcase its offer to existing customers of Brammer.

The Mobile Centre of Excellence hit the road in 2014 and features interactive product displays showcasing innovations in PPE as well as hand and power tools from more than 25 world class manufacturers. On the day of the visit, the vehicle’s displays were customised to the needs of a nuclear facility, including a popular installation of the Facom Safety Lock system. Spark resistant and restricted access tooling were also of special interest to the EDF engineers and maintenance technicians.

Ian Ritchie, Managing Director of Buck & Hickman, explained: “Cultivating long term partnerships allows us to add maximum value for our customers, and the Mobile Centre of Excellence is a key part of this approach. We continually review and update the product demonstration rigs on board to ensure our displays are always up to date and thought-provoking, allowing us to share the latest innovations with our customers.”
