Forging partnerships with the local community.

Several months ago, we invited students and Course Leaders from Abingdon & Witney College to visit our Gasworks Pipe Bridge restoration project in Oxford to view recent progress and discuss a steel donation to help engineering students with their practical skills.

As a result, we recently made the short trip to Abingdon to deliver a selection of surplus steel from the project.

The College’s Head of Faculty for Technology commented: “It’s vitally important for our students and apprentices to get practical welding experience as part of their course. We are extremely grateful for B&M McHugh's kind donation of steel off-cuts which will be invaluable for our students practising their welding skills in the workshop. The exciting partnership will enhance the learning experience for our welding students and will give them the opportunity to hone their skills in the College’s workshop for their future careers.”

We all have to start somewhere and the best way to learn is by practising. It’s great that we can use our off-cuts to help the next generation of local welders and mechanical engineers to forge their careers.

We normally re-use or re-cycle off-cuts, but we felt that this steel donation was an opportunity to help students in our local community. We are looking forward to developing our community outreach and our relationships with other local businesses and organisations.
