Ian Barrett

Statement from Steve Skinner Director of Turbine Tools:

Turbine Tools Ltd provides high level supply and product support for our Gas Turbine Engine clients within the aerospace, marine and power-generation sectors.  We supply the very specialized tooling and equipment used to maintain and overhaul gas turbines, where tool accuracy, dependability and safety is paramount.

As a company Inspector Ian Barrett has a dual role and, depending on his monthly duty roster, is either supervising the service/repair workshop, reporting directly to the Engineering Services Manager, or as the ‘Duty Calibration Inspector’ where Ian is responsible for the calibration and testing of complex torque multiplier equipment, reporting directly to the Laboratory Services Manager.

The Calibration Level 3 course recently completed by Ian enabled him to be promoted to the dual Inspector position, whilst providing the business with an important ISO 17025 compliance aspect for our laboratory accreditation.

In addition, Ian is an active member within our Engineering – Management Action Group and plays a vital role within our Quality Review Board.

Clearly, Ian is engaged in many vital roles across the business but in every aspect of his work he displays the highest level of courtesy, professionalism and respect for his fellow colleagues.  A gentleman in the extreme, and a marvelous role model to those following in his footsteps’.

I’m really delighted that he has been recognised in this way and I’m really grateful for your support in this regard and as a business we are thrilled and extremely proud of his achievement.

Statement from Ian Barrett:

I found the Calibration Level 3 Course to be stimulating and challenging. The comprehensive course notes had a good balance of detailed factual information and practical examples to work through. The pace of the course is entirely a personal choice, which I liked. The manner in which the six modules were submitted, by staggering them, for assessment helped build my confidence during the course. I received encouraging written feedback from my tutor on the marked assignments.

Statement from Trevor Leach NCT Course Tutor & Director:

Ian was one of the very best students that has undertaken the Calibration course and the quality of the work submitted was of the highest order and his overall attitude very professional.
