For Jet Training, their outside space here at Mamhilad Park Estate is as important as the inside – as our own maintenance team found out for themselves.

Jet Training, specialises in skills and Health & Safety training for the highways industry. As well as 530 sq ft of space comprising an office and training room, the company has an outdoor yard at its disposal here for practical skills training on specialist machinery including excavators, cherry-pickers and forklift trucks.

Owners Ed and Kath Gullick are among the five team members based at Mamhilad. They moved in within three weeks of making the decision and already count us among their clients, who are typically local authorities and utilities providers.

“The Estate team has been brilliant, making sure we had the space we needed and super flexible, so we could start moving in straight way and were fully up and running really quickly,” said Ed.

“The mix of indoor and outdoor space suits us down to the ground, as we’re a City and Guilds registered centre training in everything to do with highways construction and maintenance.

“The training is technical and intensive, and we need to move from classroom-based learning into practical application. So having the yard just outside is brilliant, with participants able to excavate, reinstate and lay tarmac all on-site, as well as complete traffic management layout exercises. It’s also big enough to accommodate our winter services operations training on the gritters.

“The broadband is excellent, which is important for us, and our clients are particularly delighted with the accessibility of the location, just off the dual carriageway, and the ample free parking.”

James Crawford, chief executive of Johnsey Estates UK Limited, the estate’s owner-managers based here on site, said our occupiers consistently tell us that this is a very special place to work.

“And that’s not just from a practical point-of-view, with our team finding the perfect space for them, the technical and physical connectivity, but also the setting which our maintenance team looks after beautifully,” he said. 

“So we’re especially pleased that they can receive excellent training right here from one of our own occupiers!”
