EASTINGTON-based Arc Energy Resources will once again be supporting this year’s Stroud Festival of Manufacturing & Engineering.

The firm hopes to encourage pupils to choose a career in engineering.

Director Rosemary Robinson is proud of the skilled engineers the company has assembled, a team that is qualified to internationally recognised standards and specifications.

Explaining the company’s approach to people management, Rosemary says it is essential to continue to recruit and train skilled staff: “Recruiting and training has proved a major challenge recently. A decade ago there was a pool of skilled staff who moved between companies, many of them having served apprenticeships in large organisations.” Arc Energy Resources will be exhibiting at the Stroud Festival of Manufacturing & Engineering on 24th November at Stroud Leisure Centre.
