Lunch & learns at UK valve manufacturer Blackhall Engineering trace their roots to the benefits of communal diningpromoting empathy, connection, and knowledge-sharing. Inspired by this concept, Blackhall has launched tailored Lunch & Learn sessions to engage industry professionals and raise awareness about their latest products and services.
The Launch
These sessions are designed to foster kinship and trust, much like our ancestors did around the fire. Blackhall uses this opportunity to connect with clients, offering technical insight and product demonstrations in an informal, welcoming setting.
What to Expect
Each session is tailored to the client’s needs. Blackhall currently showcases four modules: a corporate overview, an introduction to BOFIN (valve inspection), VAMP® (Valve Asset Maintenance Programme), and TES/VAMP® combined (Through Life Engineering Services).
What They Achieve
Attendees benefit from expert guidance on valve specification, refurbishment strategies, and upgrade options. Sessions have been praised for offering real-world, actionable insights.
It’s a Win-Win
Participation in industry events like the British Dam Association helps promote these sessions. A key success story is the Kielder Reservoir, where a valve once deemed irreparable was refurbished following a Lunch & Learn connection.
Plaudits
Clients such as JBA Consulting have praised the sessions for their informative approach and Blackhall’s innovative solutions. To book your own, reach out to Dean at Blackhall Engineering.
