TONY AUSTIN, DEARNE VALLEY COLLEGE

After deciding to close their apprentice welding department after falling numbers of apprentice applications they were left with a wide range of welding equipment from, MIG, TIG and stick welders to downdraft benches and pillar drills. Needing to focus its resources on other areas the college sought an expert partner to help facilitate the disposal of these surplus assets from end to end.
