Bowtec launches South Wales Skills Hub following significant investment

Rigging and lifting training at Bowtec

Bowtec Training Services has made a significant investment across its two centres in Pyle, South Wales, bringing together our Rigging Centre of Excellence and Technical Skills Centre under the Bowtec South Wales Skills Hub.

The investment includes specialist rigging facilities and dedicated mechanical training facilities, with purpose-built equipment for mechanical joint integrity and pipefitting training. It gives learners hands-on experience in realistic working environments and reflects Bowtec’s ambition to offer some of the best practical training facilities in Wales.

Bowtec also supports the workforce at Hinkley Point C through its training provision, including MJI-10.

Our Rigging Centre of Excellence was designed with input from experienced riggers. Together, our two centres combine classroom learning with practical training, helping develop the skills needed for work in lifting, mechanical engineering, nuclear and energy industries.

We have taken on three new employees in 2026, creating local opportunities in Bridgend County Borough. We would like to thank Bridgend County Borough Council for supporting Bowtec’s growth and our vision for the South Wales Skills Hub.
