Tackling the Technology Skills Gap with Chris Matthew of Flannery Plant Hire

Peter Haddock catches up with Chris at the Highways UK event on the Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon stand. They talk about how the business is tackling the technology skills gap with its State of the Art Operator Skills Hub, a joint venture with Balfour Beatty plc.

They also discuss the challenges of attracting people into the industry and the opportunities to train more operators, whilst upskilling those that want to operate more advanced equipment using 3D machine control. Chris goes on to highlight how the business is looking to the future and working with new technology providers and innovations to introduce them into the industry.

It's an exciting time for the business, as it continues to invest in new equipment and people. If you want to get in touch with your innovations, email its dedicated address: innovatewithus@flanneryplant.co.uk
