Apprentices “learn and construct” with Sanicubic

Trade Training Associates (TTA) was established in August 2008 to offer industry specific training and assessment in the gas, water, oil and renewable energy sectors as well as funded apprentice training and assessment.

Following their success two new training divisions - Construction and Hair & Beauty have recently been converted from a commercial building on the North Tyne Trading estate, Newcastle upon Tyne.
The addition of this faculty required extra toilet and washing facilities along with the disposal of waste water from the hairdressing department.

Due to the location a small bore drainage system was required. Saniflo the leading experts in this field recommended a Sanicubic twin motored macerator with remote alarm system.

As Saniflo systems are on the NVQ curriculum for apprentice studies so it was decided by the course tutors to install the unit as part of a “learn and construct” programme.

A “Hands on” situation for everyone!

Sanicubic is a high performing macerator pump that can discharge waste and water from multiple WCs and other waste water producing appliances. It pumps waste away through small-bore pipework up to 11m vertically, 100m horizontally or a lesser combination of vertical x horizontal.

B & V staff applaud Apprentice star Tom Pellereau

BBC Apprentice star Tom Pellereau’s spectacular win this week has been applauded by staff at one of the UK’s largest legionella control and water treatment companies – as the 31 year old inventor has just spent several weeks working on a top secret project with the company.

Tom, who this week was awarded a £250,000 business partnership with multi millionaire mogul Lord Alan Sugar, has been working at B & V Water Treatment’s offices on a revolutionary product due to be revealed fully this autumn.

Tom, whose personable approach and creative thinking won him the through on the TV show contest, has been working with members of the B & V research and development team in his capacity as director of life sciences company Biomimetics Health Industries which creates chemicals aimed at killing well-known contagious micro-organisms.

B & V MD Simon Ward said: “All of us want to congratulate Tom Pellereau on his new business partnership with Lord Sugar. We have been working with Tom for a while now and we were all very pleased to watch him excel on The Apprentice. For Tom to go onto to win the competition is an amazing achievement and we are all very happy to see a great person that we all really enjoy working with do so well.

“His geek like status is proving an inspiration to a new generation who are now discovering both science and being kind and thoughtful are positive qualities in a world often dominated by more aggressive types. It’s good to see science and ‘goody goodyness’ becoming qualities to aspire to.

“Tom is a fantastic guy to work with – friendly, approachable and an old fashioned gentleman. We’re privileged to be able to work with him – and so proud of his incredible achievement. His success shows that you don’t have to be a Rottweiler to succeed in business – his so called ‘underdog’ status pretty much sealed the deal.”

The bespectacled inventor, who has a masters degree in mechanical engineering and innovation from Bath University, is already rumoured to have been offered a role presenting a BBC science programme.
