PAC members go behind the plasterboard

GIB factory visit offers apprentices opportunity to find out more about a product they use

PAC members Joshua Rhodes, John Nash and Daniel Horobin were quick to sign up for a GIB factory tour, where they had the opportunity to find out more about a product they use on a daily basis.

In addition to seeing where and how GIB is manufactured, they also chatted with Market Residential Manager Gordon White and Technical Training & Support Advisor Bruce Vickers about different GIB systems and their uses.

“I thought it would be useful to learn more about what we’re using and how it’s made,” says first year apprentice Daniel.

“It was a lot different to what I thought and pretty interesting. The staff were really open to answering any questions we had and it was good to meet other apprentices.”

Joshua was also glad he attended the visit, saying he “didn’t think I would get as much out of it as I did”.

The crew also received some great tips on best practice installation, were well fed and did not leave empty handed!
