The power tool manufacturer has opened a carbon-neutral training hub in Aylesbury.
Milwaukee has officially opened its new UK Experience Centre at Westcott Venture Park, Aylesbury. The 13,250ft2 carbon-neutral facility represents the company’s largest investment in UK training infrastructure, backed by a 10-year lease agreement.
According to the company, the facility aims to address a growing need in the trades sector for comprehensive, practical training environments where professionals can test equipment in realistic conditions before making significant investment decisions. Unlike traditional showrooms or brief product demonstrations, the centre provides extended access to Milwaukee Tools’ full product ecosystem in both indoor training spaces and dedicated outdoor testing areas.
Built using Milwaukee tools to demonstrate the brand’s commitment to efficiency and reduced emissions, the hub will be used to upskill approximately 300 employees annually through expert training programmes. The centre will enable business to enhance customer relationships and support direct end-user interaction, with hands-on training and product testing opportunities available.
“We’re just getting started,” says Dan Stringer, Head of Training at Milwaukee Tools UK. “Since our founding in 1924, Milwaukee has been driven by a commitment to solving the real-world challenges faced by professional tradespeople.
"This Experience Centre embodies that heritage while spotlighting the innovations that will define the next century of our industry. Investing in this hub demonstrates our growing support of the British trades sector, and we look forward to industry professionals, as well as other key stakeholders, exploring the range of training and testing opportunities we have on offer.”
