A three-day training course delivered by British Rema in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in September was a fantastic success and has further strengthened the partnership between customer and supplier.
The ‘Mechanical Maintenance of Rotary Kilns & Vessels’ course consisted of classroom and practical training at the customer’s site in Barnet, near Kinshasa and was adapted to suit the specific needs of customer, Pretoria Portland Cement (PPC), whose production and maintenance employees attended the training as part of their continuous professional development.
Rob Fellows, Sales Manager of British Rema Process Equipment & Rotary Engineering, flew to the DRC to deliver the training face to face and was thoroughly impressed by the knowledge and engagement from the delegates;
“We had some excellent in-depth discussions with the attendees who were, without exception, keen to learn and put their knowledge into practice. Our fantastic interpreter, Guy Michel from Cameroon, was able to simultaneously translate all the content, including the discussions, into French. This was a huge help to me as the delegates’ main language is French after their local dialects.”
PPC Plant Manager, Andrew Molonga, attended the course and was delighted with the response of his team;
“The content was tailored to the rotary kiln we have on site here in the DRC, so it was highly relevant to the 21 delegates that attended. One element of the course that was particularly useful for us a business was the recommendations for the nature and frequency of checks – daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually. This is something we have immediately put into practice. We are building a fantastic working relationship with British Rema which not only includes training, but technical support services. We are also sending team member, Patrick Mukendi, to British Rema’s annual seminar in November in Sheffield.”
