The competition for bus and coach technicians and apprentices, the IRTE Skills Challenge will return this year after last year's competition was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Organisers have confirmed that safety for competitors is paramount and that measures will be taken if social distancing needs to be maintained when the competition takes place in the summer. S&B Automotive Academy will adapt the layout of its facility in Bristol if it is still required to do so, to accommodate competitors and judges in a safe environment. SSB Automotive Academy Training and Education Director Richard Belton said that the summer competition can be Covid-secure if it needs to be. He said: "We are currently working in a secure Covid-tested environment so if the competition needs those measures in place, we are ready to comply. As a training organisation we have had to be flexible and we are confident that we can put on a great competition." Society Chief Operating Officer Daniel Moir said: "We recognise that we must ensure safety for everyone involved in this competition. That is the absolute priority. |
