Commenting, Andrew Cox, managing director at TT electronics in Rogerstone said, “Achieving a Black Belt involves undergoing a total of 21 days of intensive training – a considerable investment for both the individual involved and the company.
The fact that we now have two black belts and 25 green belts on site demonstrates our dedication to continuously improving the very high standards of quality that we achieve here in Rogerstone.
It also underscores our commitment as a company to staff development.” Steve Davies, technical director at Rogerstone is already a Six Sigma BlackBelt, and a third member of the management team is currently undergoing training.
