Roberts and FENTO Support The Flooring Industry’s Next Generation
Apprentices and trainees at FITA, NICF,
Derwentside College, Gower College, and Optimum Skills, are now undertaking
their training using Roberts tools and FENTO knee protection as the partners
look to play a pivotal role in encouraging and supporting the next generation
of flooring installers.
The ongoing relationships they have with
some of the industry’s most recognised training facilitators ensures that
trainees can benefit from the quality, accuracy and reliability of Roberts
tools and the ergonomic, supportive protection of FENTO as they learn how to
install floors to the highest professional standards.
Roberts Category Manager Tom Connelly,
explains, “The industry faces a skills shortage, so the work of training
providers like the NICF and Optimum Skills is vital in ensuring that flooring
has a future of qualified and skilled installers.”
“Roberts has been creating tools for the
industry for more than eight decades and is renowned for the quality of its
tools. It only seems right that we give something back and let the next
generation learn with some of the world’s best flooring tools in hand. Our
partnership with FENTO means their knees and backs are well protected from the
very first day too, so that they can build a lasting career.”
Founded in 1938, Roberts, a quality brand of
QEP, is a pioneer in modern carpet and hard flooring installation tools. It has
invented, designed and improved many of the most common flooring tools in use
today, and continues to introduce innovative products that address the
challenges of today’s professionals.
Roberts partners with FENTO in the UK to
distribute the company’s range of leading, ergonomically designed knee
protection for today’s craftsmen. FENTO was established in 2000 by sailmaker
René van Rijn and physiotherapist Geert Kaal. It was a result of René’s
inability to find a knee protector that prevented his knee and back problems.
Its range is trusted by more than 1 million tradespeople across the globe.
Supporting training facilities with tools
and protection allows the companies to not only support the next generation,
but also raise standards and ensure a thriving and successful future for
flooring installation.
