The A Team: Vini Purcell & Iurii Makarenko (Armatec), Josh Moyle & Bradly Engelberger (Anzco)
“The competition consists of a range of practical challenges focusing on safety topics such as first aid, fire safety, working at heights, physical fitness, violence prevention, road safety, and manual handling. The activities are run by local safety groups and construction companies. This year, NPiS and the Taranaki Rural Support Trust ran an activity on mental health and wellbeing.”
Both Vini and Iurii have completed their apprenticeship training through the NZ Marine & Composites Training ITO and are a valued part of our fabrication team here at Armatec. It was great to receive positive remarks from the officials at the event, feeding back that Iurii and Vini are an amazing credit to our company. As with all of our team members we are proud to have them represent Armatec Environmental. Well done guys!
