Altrad RMD Kwikform is proud to be celebrating its 90th anniversary this year - a milestone that offers a moment to reflect on the people who have driven the company\u2019s growth and evolution over the past nine decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Behind every successful project, every innovative solution, and every satisfied customer stands a dedicated team whose talent, passion, and hard work have shaped Altrad RMD Kwikform into the company it is today. Some of our longest serving employees reflect on their experiences and opportunities throughout their time at the company from the introduction of CAD to new product innovations.<\/p>\n

The journey<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darren Careless, Global Product Innovation Manager recalls the very start of his journey, saying: \u201cMy journey at RMD Kwikform began in 1987, when I came in for a one week work experience placement while finishing school. After this I received a letter inviting me to apply for an apprenticeship as part of the Youth Training Scheme (YTS), which I was successfully accepted into.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julie Mahal, UK Sales Support Manager also joined the company from the Youth Training Scheme, saying: \u201cIt was an initiative that gave young people hands on work experience alongside day release at college. I joined as an admin trainee in Coventry, spending time learning the ropes while working on my administration certificate. After three months, a position became available and I jumped at the chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

UK Managing Director, Mark Pickard recalls his early days at the company when he joined as an Accounts Clerk: \u201cAt the time, I had no grand plan or clear path, like most 18-year-olds, I didn\u2019t really know what I wanted to do. RMD gave me a chance, and the business was able to sponsor me through my accountancy qualifications through day release \u2013 one day a week at college, the rest working on the job.\u201d<\/p>\n
