Happy New Year!

As the last remnants of the holiday season are behind us, we begin to look forward to the new year and the opportunities available. But before we do, it’s time to look back at the gifts we got this year, and perhaps give some ideas to make sure that as a heavy machinery operator, you find a gift that puts a smile on your face.

There is any number of novelty t-shirts, mugs, and stickers you can find out there today that are perfect for the heavy machinery operator, with all kinds of message and so on. This year, we got a thermal mug in the office, a great addition and perfect for a day out on site. However, we all agree, the best gift anyone here has ever received is definitely a great pair of work boots. Not only do they keep you comfortable all day, they protect your feet and just make working that bit more enjoyable. Timberland, Irish Setter and Keen all make great boots that are comfortable all day and are built to last as well.

If you didn’t get that perfect set of boots this year, just remember to drop hints next time around, or if you are wondering what to buy a heavy machinery operator next birthday or holiday, now you know what to look out for. If you did get a great mug, t-shirt, or even that perfect pair of work boots, it’s time to put them to good use now as the new year gets underway.

It has been a great year for us here at ATS, and we just want to take this chance to thank every single person who took one of our courses over the last 12 months and helped make 2017 one to remember. For those who haven’t yet made that choice to train for a career in heavy machinery, we look forward to helping many of you find that new career or learn some extra skills during this new year through our comprehensive range of training courses.

We hope that all your dreams become reality over the next 12 months, and wish each and every one of you a happy and prosperous 2018.
