Brake brand PAGID will be the official sponsor of the Institute of the Motor Industry Skills Competition 2021-2022.
It will also provide the students with hands-on experience by hosting informative training talks and college visits.
Richard Hutchins, skills competition manager at the IMI, said: “We would not be able to deliver the high standard of competition expected from us without the support of organisations like TMD Friction, bringing specialist knowledge and expertise, helping us ensure we are following the latest procedures and practices in the challenges we set our competitors.”
Scott Irwin, head of technical training, TMD Friction, said: “We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the IMI over the years. The team is incredibly dedicated to helping aspiring mechanics, which is something we are very passionate about as a company. Student mechanics are the future of the industry, so it’s important that they learn the correct techniques and best practice to keep themselves, and drivers, safe in the workshop and out on the road.”
Steve Nash, CEO of the IMI, concluded: “We are delighted to have sponsorship support from PAGID for the IMI Skills Competition in 2021-2022. After what has been a tumultuous year, for the sector as a whole and students in particular, we are looking forward to welcoming the PAGID team and all the finalists to the finals in November.”
