The initiative, supported by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), works to inspire and inform the engineers of today and tomorrow, and provides a hands-on experience of engineering and technology through interactive training and workshop sessions. This week, Ark Burlington Danes Academy in west London was the first of many schools to experience RS Live.
RS Live kick starts a major effort by the distributor to give customers a more personal experience, providing valuable insight into how the business operates, from engineering design and machine and panel build, to production maintenance, stores management and purchasing solutions.
Mike England, UK country manager and head of region for Northern Europe at RS, added: “We have a duty to ensure that our customers and suppliers receive the best possible service to help them achieve their business objectives. By taking our business on the road, RS Live is providing us with an extraordinary, interactive platform on which to build and cement these relationships, helping us truly inspire the next generation of engineers.”
RS Live will continue its tour across the UK for the next two months, then make its way over to Munich, Germany for the Electronica trade fair between 8-11 November 2016.
