With the Isle of Wight Festival 2025 fast approaching, the build team at Paul Price Events is getting ready to roll. But before the first scaffold goes up or the first pallet is placed, there’s one essential job to tick off the list – making sure all machinery operators are properly refreshed and certified.

That’s where we come in.

Wight Training Services recently delivered a Telehandler Refresher Course on-site using Paul’s own SANY STH1440 machine. This approach ensures operators are trained in a familiar setting, on the equipment they’ll actually be using – meaning better safety, smoother workflow, and total confidence behind the controls.

We covered essential pre-use checks, safe operating practices, load handling and more – making sure everything is up to ITSSAR-accredited standards.
