Lucas talks to Patrick Flannery about skills and attracting young people into the plant sector

Talking about his interview, Lucas said: “It was great to meet and chat with Patrick on the Leica Geosystems stand at Hillhead Show earlier this year.

“I wanted to find out more about his views on attracting young people to the industry and how he thinks things have changed over the years, now most people are using social media.

“It's great to hear Patrick explain how many young and older people are coming into the industry through Boot Camp and other training it provides.

“I certainly enjoyed my experience at its Operator Skills Hub getting my ticket on the Yanmar tracked dumper - you can see my video here on our Content With Media YouTube channel - https://youtu.be/HO4oxpU9qBg?si=_j2UGjqCJrXqUrCx

“Thanks again to Patrick for making time for me. I really enjoyed the conversation and hope to talk to him again in the future.”
