Q8Oils strategic partnership with Optimum Oils sends engineering graduates on Europe-wide induction trip
Leeds, UK – Wednesday, 30 October 2013 – As part of Q8Oils and Optimum Oils strategic partner relationship, engineering graduates currently employed by two of Optimum Oils’ customers visited Q8Oils in September and took part in an induction course to provide them with a better understanding of Q8Oils and the wider industry.
The three graduates – William Barker from Go-Ahead and Dr Chau Man-chun and Derek Amponsah from Abellio – began their three-day experience at Q8Oils’ UK blending plant in Leeds. This was followed by a second day at Kuwait Petroleum’s Research & Technology (KPR&T) facility in Rotterdam and a third day at Antwerp’s blending plant. The three graduates were joined by Q8Oils’ James Thornton and Bob Stoker from Optimum Oils.
Explaining the importance of relationships with OEMs, KPR&T’s Adri van de Ven says that product knowledge and application training is a strategic tool for its employees and business partners alike, as it is essential that Q8Oils can provide the best possible advice to its customers to ensure the long term profitability of their businesses.
At each site the graduates received technical training and an in-depth induction on important topics including manufacturing, health and safety, planning and dispatch procedures. This provided the engineering graduates with a comprehensive understanding of Q8Oils products and how the company operates.
Commenting on the induction, Catherine Macklam, Key Account Co-ordinator for Q8Oils says: “It is crucial that we provide informative experiences and technical training such as this as it sets us apart from our competitors.”
