Responsive NDT Employee Qualification Quadruple in Radiography

18 April 2020

Recently, Responsive NDT based at our Lillyhall facility has had a course running for our apprentices that are studying radiography PCN Level 2, as part of their NVQ Level 3.

All 4, Lisa Grears, Gary Linford, Ellis Selkirk and Rikki Tweedie have been studying within the workplace and in their own time, for an NVQ Level 3 within Non Destructive Testing for the previous 2 years, which is almost at completion with only months to go. During that time, they will have achieved not only the NVQ, but 3 industry required professional qualifications in NDT being Dye Penetrant, Magnetic Particle and Radiography, allowing them to immediately start honing their new found skills.

We are pleased to announce that all 4 passed with flying colours and are now additional resource to our already qualified radiography team at Responsive.

At the same time, additional qualifications were gained by Tony Lister, manager of our mechanical test house facility Responsive Mechanical Testing in Whitehaven in Radiographic Interpretation and Rikki Dillon for Basic Radiation Safety.

In numbers, this means that Responsive Non Destructive Testing has a combined radiography resource of 8 fully trained and experienced operatives working in West Cumbria and Manchester.

Lee Grears, Group MD says, this is an exceptional result for all 4 staff members. They have a promising career ahead, ensuring that Responsive is in prime position to offer resource and ultimately boost safety within the UK. These qualifications are not easy to come by and you have to work hard to achieve the results that they have seen – Well done

Recently, Responsive have also gained additional accreditation for Safe Contractor status after successful audit allowing additional work fronts on sites around the UK.
