The big problem in the UK isn't just young people not wanting to come into the industry. It's the constant crap you have to put up with from supervisors field service managers etc concentrating on stupid things and not the important things like are our customers actually happy with the service we supply. I got totally fed up with getting calls complaining that my live time working on my pad awasnt good enough, why did it take me over an hour to get to site etc( any ex barlows engineers will know what i mean Lol). After over 30 years in the field I'd had enough and went to an end user. Then there is the training engineers now are trained to use the laptop look up the fault code and what the laptop says is gospel. We ended up having to ask jungheinrich not to send certain engineers to site as we ended up having to tell them how to fix the trucks one hadn't even heard of an earth fault on a cd motor. Unfortunately if things don't change in the UK in about 15 years time the industry is completely screwed.
