Middlesbrough-based electrical power training provider, The Faraday Training Group has bolstered its training provision with the appointment of two new lead tutors.

Stuart Wood and Andy Robertson have joined the company to oversee the organisation’s team of course tutors and to deliver a range of electrical power training to clients in the UK and internationally, in sectors including oil and gas, marine and offshore, engineering and construction, chemical, government and the public sector.

“I am pleased to welcome Andy and Stuart to the team. They bring with them combined experience totalling over six decades.”

The appointment of the new lead tutors follows a period of rapid growth for The Faraday Training Group with the company recently employing two new lecturers who will deliver the company’s expanding range of courses, and plans to appoint a third lead tutor next month.

Suhail Mitoubsi, General Manager of The Faraday Training Group, said: “I am pleased to welcome Andy and Stuart to the team. They bring with them combined experience totalling over six decades.

“We pride ourselves on offering courses of the highest quality, and this is in part due to the calibre and breadth of expertise provided by our tutors. I am confident that Andy and Stuart will contribute greatly to this.”

Stuart said of his appointment: “I am delighted to join The Faraday Training Group and look forward to utilising my experience to provide a diverse range of clients with training and practical experience, which will allow them to successfully and competently carry out their duties.”

Speaking of his new role Andy said: “The Faraday Training Group has a stellar reputation for the quality of its electrical training, and I am thrilled to be joining the company in such an exciting time of growth.”
