Herefordshire and Worcestershire Group Training Association (HWGTA) – Case Study

Machine Purchased:

Hydraulic and Mechanical Guillotines

Business Type:

Engineering Training Provider

The Challenge:

As a not-for-profit organisation, HWGTA needed to balance value for money with the delivery of high-quality engineering training. Their goal was to provide apprentices and professional learners with hands-on experience using modern, industry-standard equipment, ensuring they develop the practical skills required to succeed in advanced manufacturing and engineering environments across the UK.

The Solution:

To achieve this, HWGTA invested in Hydraulic and Mechanical Guillotines from Mantech. These robust, precision-engineered machines have become an integral part of their training facilities, allowing learners to gain first-hand experience in safe and accurate sheet metal cutting — a key skill in modern fabrication and production settings.

The Result:

The addition of Mantech machinery has strengthened HWGTA’s training capabilities, helping to bridge the gap between education and real-world industry requirements. Learners now benefit from working with up-to-date equipment that mirrors what they will encounter in the workplace, improving both confidence and competence.
