Peter dug a trench with help from expert trainer Gavin Elson of ETC training and consultancy

Peter Haddock dug a trench and he was exhausted afterwards!! Big thanks to expert trainer Gavin Elson of ETC training and consultancy who literally talked Peter through every step of operating this Plantforce Kobelco 14 tonne excavator.

 After the experience Peter said: " I can safely say that I am not operator material, but that safe training by skilled and enthusiastic people like Gavin is what we need in this industry to bring through much more capable people than myself "After finishing this training, I went home with a huge sense of achievement and some shaky hands, as it takes a lot of concentration and effort to operate machinery.

 Again hats off to all those operators out there. You are truly the brains in the cab, and for this training video, the brains were outside the cab with Gavin, who has the patience of a saint." To see Peters first video with Gavin, view the link below on our YouTube Channel.
