Eriks Hose Technology

Eriks Hose Technology, Northampton

Eriks are leading suppliers of a range of products from industrial hoses to bearings, motors, belts etc. and offer related engineering design to clients across the world. We use AutoCAD to create technical drawings of our components in a traditional 2D format.

Simon helped us establish our AutoCAD facility in Northampton and has provided tailored in-house training from scratch to ensure we were able to start using the software efficiently from day one. He also created our AutoCAD template file with our standard layers, annotation styles and page layouts that have enabled us to hit the ground running when producing our Cad design drawings.

Lee Steward, Technical Centre Manager at Eriks added…

Producing technical drawings has always been a personal ambition and something a company like Eriks needs. We now can now offer technical drawings for our products which not only adds value to our products but also re-enforces our professionalism and expertise.

Simon's training programme was brilliant and within a few days we were producing quality drawing for our customers and technical department. His teaching methods and aftercare have been a real bonus for both Eriks and myself.

Laura Green, Director at Stamford Stone added...

"As a specialist industry, we often struggled with training for our technical drawing team, most options were too generic. Simon understood our business requirement for AutoCad and devised training programmes to specific job roles within our company"
