26th February 1987

I was reading through the minutes of our predecessor "Cambridge Agricultural Training Group" from 26/02/87 tonight.

Past and Present, Three of our valued customers were on the committee then and remain loyal customers in 2009, :EW Pepper, Trumpington Farm Co. and P & O Harrold.

The business ran 55 days of training over the preceding year (1986), we now run over 200 days per year!

The turn over of the business was £8,000 - it is now ten times that amount but how we manage to achieve that figure without the funding from the govt through ATB is something of a challenge. A big thank you to those who continue to renew your membership each year.

The subject of funding for skills training was discussed, (some things never change)

I hope to produce some more of our history on line as an archive and acknowledgment of our story. Look to our website for more facts and figures from the past.

Towing the Line

We often get asked about training and preparation for tests involving towing. The Highways Agency has produced a video to explain and illustrate some of the issues involved. If you want to discuss preparation for the B+E test or feel you just want a refresher on towing and reversing, be it a horsebox, caravan or 10 tonne grain trailer please feel free to contact us, as these are training sessions we quite regularly hold.
