It was fantastic to be able to support Borders College Plumbing Department recently, to help train and educate the next generation of plumbers.
Plumbing Lecturer Stuart Black contacted McDonald Water Storage regarding six new unvented hot water cylinders, and we were only too delighted to help.
Stuart Black said: “As part of their Vocational Qualification, our students require industry-standard equipment to ensure they meet the required standards in their studies. These new water cylinders will help them achieve that.
“The unvented cylinders have replaced the traditional vented gravity-fed systems and are now relevant to what they will find onsite, so having the necessary skills to work with and install the equipment is vital to the students achieving their qualification.”
As well as providing the equipment, we also offered both the staff and students at Borders College the chance to visit our factory in Glenrothes, to provide training and see first-hand how the cylinders are produced.
Stuart also added: “Having a leading manufacturer providing a good quality product for the students to work with is fantastic. We are looking forward to working closely with McDonald Water Storage in the future and I would like to thank them for their generosity.”
