Weldex starts crane driver school at Easter Ross site

WELDEX is opening a crane driver training facility in the Nigg Energy Park at Easter Ross.

The Inverness company, which already employs 130 people and has a turnover of around £30 million, said the move will create 10 jobs with the possibility of more in the future.

Chairman Doug McGilvray hopes the facility, the first of its kind in Scotland, can be open by spring. He said: "Like many other crane operators, our skilled workforce has an ageing profile. The nearest crane schools are in England so we've pursued the idea of establishing our own and we're ready to go.
