Our Purpose

The welding industry has changed at a great pace in recent years with manufacturers developing high technology equipment using modern electronic controls.

The rapid rise of inverter based machines, increased demand for quality, repeatability of performance and the development of new materials such as, high strength, lightweight steels which demand new types of equipment and weld processes all mean significant change to the industry.

The Wilkinson Welding Academy based in Manchester was established to fill an identified gap in the training industry by providing appropriate training to reflect advancements in welding equipment.
