Anthony explained about the origin of the company and their incredible story, and success in growing the business over the last 10 years.

FH Dale are one of the UK’s largest and most technologically advanced steel fabricators.

Students were given a detailed talk on the various aspects of the business from estimation through to production, delivery, construction and SHEQ. The huge range of career options were discussed within the industry.

They also had a tour of the workshops housing state of the art equipment.

As well as a tour of the building, students learnt about the history of the company and looked at advertising campaigns across the decades before having a go at piping and tempering.

Students also received an education talk discussing business ownership, aims, objectives, competitors, marketing, collaborations, and sustainability.

They also sampled lots of Cadbury’s chocolate!

They thoroughly enjoyed the factory tour, where they saw both past and present race cars up close, sparking excitement and curiosity about the engineering behind F1. The STEM challenge, focusing on crumple zones, allowed students to engage in hands-on learning about car safety features and to ‘crash test’ their designs.

The highlight of the trip was using the F1 Esports simulators, which gave them a thrilling, immersive racing experience. It was an unforgettable experience that inspired their passion for engineering and motorsports. Alfie (LLX) was very impressive and even drew the attention of current F1 Esports Championship leader, Ismael Fahssi.
