Appreciation for Sublime Training
We recently received the below review for Craig Hunter, LATICRETE NSW Technical Sales Rep, after he had provided training on waterproofing to the students at TAFE NSW.
"Hi Craig,
Just a quick email to express my appreciation for the time you spent with our Stage 3 Wall and Floor Tiling students last Monday, educating them in general waterproofing processes and Latictete’s products in this crucial area of their study. Your industry experience and knowledge of waterproofing practice ensures the students receive current information in this vital area.
We are able to use the Hydroban you left us on their practical tasks through the week and many commented favourably on the ease of use. They deconstructed their simulated shower floor jobs and were able to see for themselves that the product did stretch as far as you said it would. (there were a few sceptics before this!) The demonstration and hands on learning they students gained from your visit is invaluable as most were going to go back to work this week to inform their employers of what they had learnt, so not only passing on knowledge to the students but reaching the industry as a whole. As you are all too aware the need for correct application and current knowledge in this area of Tiling is paramount.
Thank you again for taking time out of your busy schedule and please pass on my thanks to Latictrete’s management who support you in being able to do this." - Jennifer Keeley, Head Teacher, TAFE NSW.
Congrats to Craig on doing such an amazing job!
