Avery Dennison opens AD Northern Wrap Center
Avery Dennison has launched the AD Northern Wrap Center in Nelson, near Burnley. Located in the premises of Wrapped UK, the AD Northern Wrap Center will deliver Mactac and Avery Dennison product training, including automotive and architectural wrap training courses led by industry experts with years of hands-on experience.
Ash Ellison is the founder and owner of Wrapped UK and will be one of the specialist trainers at the Center.
He said: “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.
“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."
Dominic Fowler, technical support specialist - UK, Ireland & Nordics for Avery Dennison EMEA, added: “At all our AD Wrap Centers, we set an incredibly high standard for dynamic, hands-on wrapping courses led by passionate and experienced professionals, says Dominic Fowler, Technical Support Specialist - UK, Ireland & Nordics for Avery Dennison EMEA. “Our goal is to deliver the industry’s most comprehensive and detailed professional training and make the learning journey achievable, encouraging and enjoyable.
“Our training courses deliver knowledge and practical skills to support installers and converters working with film materials. From complete beginners to very experienced installers, our training programmes are designed to boost confidence and equip the skills needed to reach the highest level.
“In addition to the training programmes, the AD Specialist Trainers provide installer and partner certification, including an audit of customers’ business and operations. This unlocks access to higher levels of certification, such as the Integrated Component System (ICS) Warranty Platinum Programme."
Specialist trainersThere are two highly experienced trainers who will be leading courses at the AD Northern Wrap Center. Ash Ellison and Mark Richardson:
The first courses at the new AD Northern Wrap Center will be Architectural Window Film on October 17 and November 14.
Mr Ellison concluded: “I have been an AD Wrap Center training specialist for five years, and I can’t wait to deliver the first course at the premises of my own business. Film application requires a range of core personal skills, including patience and attention to detail. Our courses are designed to help build on these while learning the specifics of wrapping step-by-step to help people grow and develop in the field to the highest standard. Our Northern Wrap Center provides a fantastic environment for this training, and we are all set to empower wrap professionals on their journey to success.”
