The AD Northern Wrap Center will deliver product training which includes automotive and architectural wrap training courses
Avery Dennison has launched the AD Northern Wrap Center in Nelson, near Burnley.
Located in the premises of car wrapping company Wrapped UK, the AD Northern Wrap Center will deliver Mactac and Avery Dennison product training including automotive and architectural wrap training courses.
The courses will be led by trainers Ash Ellison and Mark Richardson. Ellison has been a specialist trainer for Avery Dennison since 2019, specialising in complete colour change wraps and paint protection films. Ellison also set up Wrapped UK in 2018, which now employs eight members of staff.
Richardson has been a member of the Avery Dennison Specialist Trainers Network since 2011. His experience includes wrap work for global projects such as Formula 1 (F1) vehicles and airships. Richardson is currently a Graphics Technician at the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team.
The first courses at the Northern Wrap Center is titled ‘Architectural Window Film’, which will run on October 17th and November 14th.
Speaking of the opening of the centre, Ellison comments: “Wrapped UK has a team of professionals who deliver first-class wrapping services. We are delighted to be the home of the new AD Northern Wrap Center and have the opportunity to teach people the theoretical and practical elements of installing our films correctly.”
Ellison continues: “The premises are divided into three sections. The automotive area is set up with various types of van panels to teach the correct installation methods for digital print and colour change with a hands-on approach.
“The architectural area provides more practical training for floors, walls, surfaces, and glass substrates. There is also a well-equipped and comfortable classroom training area for those all-important theoretical elements.”
Technical support specialist at Avery Dennison, Dominic Fowler, adds: “Our Southern AD Wrap Center in the UK, based in Essex, has been a great success.
“The demand for courses has increased significantly, and opening a new centre is essential to meeting this need. The new centre has been designed to enable real-world practical installation training and state-of-the-art classroom facilities for theoretical learning in comfort and style.”
