The Bedford College Group joined the official opening of the M & J Group in-house CITB-approved training centre within the company offices in Hammond Road, Bedford.
The opening had been delayed for a few years because of the pandemic, however, in that time 900 courses were delivered on-line.
And earlier this season the first external course was delivered to Morgan Sindall, showing the progression and potential of the centre.

50 years of M & J
With 2022 marking 50 years of M&J, this was an ideal time for M&J Group to officially open the training centre. Mayor of Bedford Borough Dave Hodgson undertook the official ribbon cutting to mark the opening.
M&J invited visitors to celebrate from: Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), The Bedford College Group, National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC) and the Institute of Roofing.
M&J is at the forefront of the roofing industry. The company is working alongside the NFRC working towards the development of Flame Free Roofing, an important safety development.
