Polish Welders help McKendry Fabrications Buck the trend
I couldn’t agree more with Colin McKendrys comments on the Belfast Telegraph owner of McKendry Fabrications, who has a positive attitude to the current market. In my opinion if you keep positive and work hard then you can take advantage of this current crisis.
One of the huge advantages of being small is you can be flexible and make changes quickly, unlike the bigger corporates who can get caught out. But it isn’t his growth that has caught my eye but his attitude to the work force, shows you what can be achieved.
As you may or may not know I used to be in recruitment, and to some extent still am and I hear so much about the exploitation of workers particularly of contractors from the new European countries. Unfortunately there is a tendency to take advantage and although there is a cash benefit he still see knows the value of good workers and how to reward, it isn’t all about money, and as Colin puts it:
“Polish immigrants are very good because of the traditional training that still exists in that country, and I have two Polish foremen,” he said.
“I invest a lot in their training and even help them get on language courses, as well as assisting with their housing and I have helped with bringing their wives over.
“I help them get accommodation and to integrate into the community.”
So if you are looking for work in fabrications then check out their latest news
Sri Lanka to certify 500k Construction Personnel
Well if you wasn’t worried before Sri Lanka are looking to certify their 500,000 construction workers of various trades to be certified to make it easier for them to gain work with other countries with the UK being one of them for sure.
It is quite frustrating at times knowing that we are going to be flooded with cheap labour, but I do have mixed views one of which is the effect it will have on UK trades men and secondly from the other side it will be a important way of bringing wealth to their country and help their families who are below the poverty line.
Remittances from migrant workers, estimated at around $2.5 billion in 2007, are an important source of foreign exchange for Sri Lanka, second only to earnings from apparel exports. Link
How this will turn out, time will only tell.
Welder Blows himself up
I just had to write about this amazing welding story, apparently a welder sitting in his van on his way to work decides to light up a cigarette. The next thing he knows is the van is completely destroyed.
It appears it was a complete miracle, particularly as the shop owner nearby thought he was still in Iraq!!
The article can be found here via WJBF news channel, you have to watch the video report of the accident, just unbelievable.
Doctor Who Welders Mask
Well I am not to sure what to say about this, but one thing is for sure it is unique and with only 5oo worldwide are very exclusive.
The price is £24.50 and would be shipped from New Zealand, that[s if you want to stand out from the crowd, whether it meets safty standards I have no idea but I am sure no one would get in your way if you happen to be welding with this on.
If you are interested you need to go to Weta’s website for more details.
Successful Welders
Well I have to admit I was keen to write this post after some of the welding disasters recently. So for some more positive news in the press I came across these two welders who are clasic rags to riches stories.
The first is Ed Shea, who has just been made a Laureate of the Acadiana Business Hall of Fame, whom in 1944 after working as a welder for Texaco decide to go on his own with his welding machine and truck formed Bayou welding
Secondly Ashok Khade whom after a successful career in the ship industry had to find a way to increase his earnings, like many of us but in this case to support his four cousins after the death of their father he set up Das Offshore Engineering Pvt Ltd and now employs over 2000 workers.
Well welding isn’t such a bad career choice, to think Ashok wanted to have a career in Medicine!
Still I hope the two stories can help a few other budding entrepreneurial welders!
New York Crane, was the welder at fault!
I have to admit writting here on international welder gets rather fustrating at time when, all you get to here about is welding accidents, so at some stage I will try to find anything that is possitve newsworthy in future.
So as most of us have heard about the crane crash in New York, but what has now come to light is that the crane had recently been in for a refit and it appears the part that caused the crash was poorly welded by the New York Crane and Equipment company. Although the investigation is at early stages it will be interesting to see who was at fault and why.
A more detailed report on this investigation can be found via the New York Times
