Trelleborg Tires fuels agricultural expertise for AGCO apprentices

Trelleborg Tires has reaffirmed its commitment to agricultural education by collaborating with Moreton Morrell College in Warwickshire.

This initiative provides AGCO apprentices in the UK with essential insights into tyre technology, helping them to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for the evolving agricultural sector.

AGCO remains a key strategic partner of Trelleborg Tires in the agricultural, reflecting a shared commitment to innovation in modern farming. By engaging with Trelleborg Tires’ experts, including Russell Ellis, sales manager UK, and Jimmy Jones, technical manager UK, apprentices participated in an in-depth training session covering everything from tyre selection and soil conservation to tyre inflation systems, track construction, and proper fitting techniques.

With a strong focus on hands-on guidance, apprentices were encouraged to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world situations, bridging the gap between classroom learning and industry practice.

“We are committed to supporting the next generation of agricultural professionals by equipping them with vital tyre expertise,” said Russell Ellis. “Through this collaboration, we are nurturing a new wave of specialists who will help drive the industry forward.”

Moreton Morrell College, known for land-based education, sees immense value in this collaboration. Andy Southerton, Lecturer in Land-Based Engineering at the college, expressed his enthusiasm: “Working with Trelleborg Tires adds a significant dimension to our training programs, ensuring our apprentices receive industry-leading knowledge, preparing them for future success.”
