The UK’s first Precision Tooling Academy has been recognised by a national charity dedicated to closing skills gaps in UK engineering and manufacturing. Metal pressing and tooling specialist Brandauer was named as the SME Employer Skills Champion of the Year by Enginuity for the way it has joined forces with In-Comm Training to bring the technical upskilling facility in the West Midlands to fruition. The judges were impressed by Brandauer’s role in addressing a critical shortage of toolmakers by creating a 20-week course that ensures the transfer of skills from an ageing workforce to a younger generation.
