Colchester Academy Advances UK Manufacturing Skills


Wednesday 25 February 2026, 7:04:03 PM


Earlier this month, engineers from Fibrelite Composites completed a specialised training programme at the Colchester Training Academy. The event focused on turning and taper turning techniques, conducted in partnership with West Yorkshire Manufacturing Services (WYMS).

The training was designed to enhance participants’ confidence, accuracy, and consistency in their work. By engaging in hands-on exercises, the Fibrelite engineers were able to immediately apply their newly acquired skills to real-world components following their theoretical sessions.

The collaboration between Colchester Training Academy and WYMS underscores a commitment to fostering practical skills within the manufacturing sector. By working closely with industry partners, the academy aims to improve productivity, minimise rework, and strengthen long-term capabilities in UK manufacturing.

For those interested in advancing their technical skills, the Colchester Training Academy offers tailored programmes that address specific industry needs.
