During the programme with provided insight into operating in the manufacturing industry and continuing to thrive in a difficult economic climate, Bona’s technical manager, Alec Stacey discussed the importance of providing education for its workforce.
Alec commented: “Within the educational system, little information is provided for construction skills. The training programme that we have at Bona is an integral part of what we’re doing here. It’s important for a couple of reasons. The first one is that Bona is a real innovator and we’re really leading the way in terms of development of new systems as well as new products.
Tony Peak, sales manager, discussed the need for introducing new talent to the industry: “The industry is getting older, so we need new people into that industry from schools.”
Leanne Garvie, marketing manager, focussed on trends in floorcare: “I think the wider trends in the industry going forwards are going to continue on the sustainability messaging, as well as high performance products.”
Tony furthered: “Wood is a sustainably resource if managed correctly. To make it fully sustainable, we really should be looking to extend the life of the floors by protecting them fully. Bona has made great strides towards making the cleanest, greenest products. What I would like to see within the industry is some of the less green products removed from sale.”
