Encon is the first Distributor to take part in Isover Technical Insulation Training

On Tuesday 11th March members of the Encon Technical Solutions team took part in the first formal training session at Isover’s brand new Technical Insulation Training Room at the Saint-Gobain Build Better Academy in East Leake.

The training focuses on the Isover U Protect system and is designed for distributors and contractors who are selling or installing passive fire protection for ductwork. The course offers a good balance of classroom and practical sessions. The classroom session, expertly delivered by Simon Bosher, National Specification Manager, covered the importance of passive fire protection in ductwork applications and provided useful information on the system’s performance and the test standards it achieves.

After talking through the installation process with Simon, the Encon team was given the opportunity to get hands-on with the products and try out the new training rig. The practical session was led and supervised by members of the Academy team, Mo Geranshoab and Aaron Estabrook.

Ian Wells, Encon Technical Solutions Strategy Director comments,

“It was fantastic to be the first distributor in the UK to use the facility – it offered valuable insight into the challenges that thermal insulation contractors face on site. Extending our team’s product knowledge furthers our mission to be the go-to distributor in the technical insulation sector. Key to our overall offering is working proactively with our supplier partners and ensuring we can provide the best possible support for our customers.”

Shaun Davies, National HVAC Manager shares his thoughts on the day,

“The theory and practical sessions delivered on the day were well planned and the standard of the training was excellent. A special thank you to Simon and the Academy team, Mo and Aaron for making the whole experience enjoyable and lending a hand when needed!

“I think anybody attending or sending their people on the course will be pleased with the outcomes. We are looking forward to enrolling more members of the Encon team onto the course soon. It is so important that we keep our product and technical knowledge up to date so that we can confidently position ourselves as The Distributor of Choice for passive fire protection for ductwork systems.”
