Comline provides automotive apprentices with handy tools

14 December 2022  

Comline Auto Parts recently went above and beyond when responding to a college request for one of its common fault poster, by also providing tools for the classroom and workshop environment in the form of pens, post-it notes, magnetic pick-up tools and air-fresheners.

After spotting an article in the automotive trade media, Stephen Flounders, of Stockton Riverside College, contacted Comline’s marketing department to seek the advertised poster, which highlights regular corrosion on the lower wishbone of a Land Rover Discovery 3, 4 and Range Rover Sport as well as the Comline fitting kit solution.

Not only did Stephen and his students receive the handy literature, but they also got the extra unexpected goodies: “I wasn’t sure what to expect, so I was thrilled to receive the box of goodies and the extra lengths Comline had gone to for our students. It’s critical that suppliers unite with colleges to ensure our apprentices have all the tools at their disposal in preparation for immersing themselves in the real-world. Our apprentices may see issues during their work placements, such as those highlighted by Comline in the common fault posters. After being alerted to them, they are now one step ahead.”

Comline Marketing and Communications Manager Jo Emmerson, added: “It’s vital that we, not only support our current partners, but also help prepare the next generation with the tools and resources we have at our disposal. This is further justification for the importance of common fault posters and other awareness material that shares our experience and knowledge – there is demand out there, at all skill and experience levels. We look forward to assisting Stephen and his students at Stockton Riverside College in the future.”
