Logie Timber Salvador SuperPush 200
We had a couple of guys from Daltons Wadkin on site for our new Salvador SuperPush 200. They were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Set up was a breeze and they were great at training some of the staff to work the machine.
Extremely happy and absolutely recommend.

We greatly appreciate your feedback regarding Ian's training. It's fantastic to hear that he was a fantastic trainer and made the training fun and engaging while sharing his wealth of knowledge. Your recommendation means a lot to us.
Great training course
The trainer Ian delivered the program in a friendly and highly engaging manner.
He covered each piece of machinery in great detail and involved all learners throughout.
Ian was able to answer all questions that we threw at him and generally delivered all aspects of training above and beyond expectations.
I have used these machines for several years and have had previous training courses where the trainer delivered no more that I already knew.
This course was different as Ian was able to enlighten me on many aspects that were above my knowledge level.
Excellent course delivered to an excellent standard.

Training was ok!
The training was great, however the communication of what was expected from us was very poor.
The trainer would not train any non English speaking staff even with a translator, this should be made clear on booking the training.

Reply from Daltons Wadkin
Thank you for your review and constructive criticism. Unfortunately, we are not able to train non English speaking learners, even with a translator, as we have no way of knowing if the lesson has been interrupted correctly. We will review our quotation template to ensure this is effectively communicated. Thank you again.
