2nd Edition 2012

Inside Track

Going for gold in the service stakes
In our slogan โ€˜Strong Reliable Machinesโ€™ may come first but as important for our customers is our undertaking to provide โ€˜Strong Reliable Supportโ€™.

In 2012 we are continuing to make significant investments that strengthen our skills base along with the commissioning of a series of upgrades to our customer support facilities around the world.

The Bell Equipment Factory training centre was the countryโ€™s first accredited private sector trade test centre for earthmoving mechanics and continues to enjoy a pass rate far above the national average.

The earthmoving mechanic apprenticeship is a three year course designed to equip artisans with the specific skills needed in the earthmoving machinery business.

A solid foundation of knowledge is provided in hydraulic systems, vehicle electronics and electrics, powerplant repair and overhaul, welding theory and practical skills.

In a number of regions around the world our local customer support operations have simply outgrown their facilities and Bell is taking the opportunity to roll out a blueprint for a customer support facility fine tuned to upgrading the customer experience.

These new Bell facilities will feature a careful match up of parts warehousing, workshop bays, offices and a comfortable customer reception area. At the same time the latest techniques and equipment to reduce the impact on the environment and a reduced energy footprint will be deployed.

At the end of the day itโ€™s the quality of our people, suitably equipped with the right tools, who make good on our strong reliable promise.

Sincerely
