Today, Phoenix welcomed a special guest to experience a day in the life of toolmaking. Ted, the son of long-time employee James Lander, had the opportunity to shadow his father and gain insight into the world of toolmaking.

James has been a dedicated employee at Phoenix for over 30 years, showcasing his expertise, skill, and commitment to the toolmaking industry. As a senior member of the staff, James is highly respected and valued for his contribution to the company. Therefore, it was an honour for Phoenix to host his son for a work experience day.

It is always exciting to see the next generation show interest in their parent’s profession, and Ted’s visit was a great opportunity to witness how his future might unfold. By observing his father at work, Ted gained a first hand look at the intricacies of toolmaking and the dedication required to excel in this field. As Ted navigated through the workshop, he was able to witness the precision and attention to detail that goes into creating high-quality tools.

In the background of the picture featuring James and Ted, there is a tool that James had previously crafted for one of Phoenix’s clients. This tool serves as a testament to James’s skills and craftsmanship, highlighting the level of expertise that he brings to his work. It was only fitting that James was pictured alongside his son, showcasing his talent and passing down his knowledge to the next generation.

We are committed to nurturing the next generation of talent and inspiring young people to pursue careers in manufacturing and engineering. We believe that by providing opportunities for work experience and mentorship, we can help shape the future of the industry and empower individuals like Ted to explore their passions and interests. We are confident that Ted’s time with us will be both educational and inspiring, and we hope that he will leave with a renewed appreciation for the art and science of toolmaking.

In closing, we would like to express our gratitude to James Lander for his years of dedication and service to Phoenix. “Thank You”.
