So I have reached the end of my training and start the final buddying this coming Monday. Can't wait especially since I'll be on a 4 day week for the next 3 -4 weeks including a 4 day weekend

As always guys any questions feel free to ask and I will do my best to help.

Starting 24th too. Will probably see you all at the platform at Stoke on the 23rd!

What job are you doing mate? I start the 24th July as well, Fibre Jointer. Looking forward to it now. Week off to chill before I start training.

Apparently also slightly faster track for the UG training that comes with a £3000 a year extra benefit so I have heard.

Nope, they have made it fair across the board, for FVR to get the higher grade they need to complete the customer internal wiring course, and the calomi guys need the ug course to get the higher pay grade. So doesn't matter if calomi or FVR both need extra training to get the higher pay.

FVR so my email said yesterday.
Not sure what van type you get for this role? Transit / Fiat?

Was told in tele conference yesterday it’s a Vauxhall Movano.

That’s good info. The more info the better. Cheers.

All roles were getting Vauxhall.
SD were getting Vivaro. All others Movano.

How have you found it mate? Coming towards the end of my buddying now out on my own next week! hell of a driffrence in the real world to what I was taught.

Hey all! Had a phone call from Zina in the week, and now got my start date in Yarnfield for 7th August, and will be working out of the Narborough, Leicester exchange! Buzzing! Will be a bit of a change from working on the Backhoe Loader production line as a agency temp at Caterpillar, Desford Factory! : )
