Matt Grant, Sales and Marketing Manager at ACA said "We've been looking at opening a training centre in the north-east area for a while now, and when the opportunity arose to utilise some space within ZyroFisher we just couldn't say no. Cytech remains the leading training and accreditation scheme for technicians within the cycle industry with demand growing significantly year on year, so the increase in training capacity that the new workshop will bring will help us better serve the industy."
Rob Haycock, CEO at ZyroFisher adds, "The new facility at our Darlington HQ is ACA's fifth workshop in England, and the second they have opened in the past 12 months. We are excited to be able to provide this purpose-built workshop which offers the very latest state-of-the-art cycle maintenance training facility. All trainees can expect to be working with, training on and using the very latest tools from Unior and equipment from some of the world's finest bicycle manufacturers and brands when they attend a Cytech course."
Suzanne Read, Operations Manager at ACA comments, "We have experienced a three-fold increase in the number of apprenticeship enrolments in the past 12 months, so this new workshop will better serve and cater for the training needs for all our apprentices and local bike shops in the north-east area. A more northern based workshop is something we've been looking to bring online for a number of years, I am glad that it is finally coming to fruition!"
