UPDATE FROM THE AEMT SECRETARY
Thomas Marks shares the latest news from the Association. IT FEELS GREAT TO HAVE LAST YEAR BEHIND US, AND with plenty of promise for the year ahead; Spring is in the air! We successfully moved office in February to the AEMT’s new headquarters at Tower House, York. For the full address, please refer to the contents page of this magazine. A new telephone system means members should be finding it easier to get hold of us while we continue working from home. We’re excited to be launching a series of webinars hosted by our technical support representative, Karl Metcalf – our Bitesize Guides to Electric Motors. The target audience for these are new recruits, office staff and members’ customers who could benefit from understanding more about the trade. These webinars are free of charge to members and are proving to be very popular. Karl has worked in the rewind industry since 1987 and is excited to share his broad and deep knowledge of the subject. We also have a free of charge
workshop raising awareness on Ex equipment on the 21st May. We encourage all ex repair shops to invite their customers to the workshop so we can raise awareness on this critical topic. We have been playing catchup this year on the Ex courses, as we provide refresher courses to all those who missed out last year. Many of our online courses have now sold out, and we are working on releasing some new dates soon. Feedback for the online courses has been really positive, and we now know this is definitely something to take forward beyond the pandemic. I look forward to sharing progress on our online training offering in due course. Right now we are working on a booking system so that course bookings can be made via our website, and paid for by card, which we hope to release this summer. I’m also pleased to say we completed the membership outreach project in February and have launched the new member profiles on the AEMT website. If you are a member and haven’t already checked your profile page for accuracies, please do so and let us know if you want to make any further changes. If you’ve any comments or suggestions on what you would like to see from the AEMT, please don’t hesitate to contact us, one of the council or the President. You can email us at admin@aemt.co.uk or call +44 (0)1904 674899.
