Engineering

Is your company ready to tell its story?

Energy supply, climate change and ageing transport infrastructure are just a few of the challenges that continue to face the UK engineering sector and with the recent uncertainty around the HS2 rail project, the media will be keen for good news.

As the sector copes with delivering large scale, engineering projects amid a severe industry skill shortage, those who can capture the imagination with new technology, innovative solutions and relatable spokespeople will grab the media’s attention.

Despite the challenges, the forecast for the engineering sector is strong.

What Media First clients in your sector say

Thank you so much for organising the media training for our group. We were delighted with it, and agree it is one of the most valuable experiences we have had in terms of training for our job."

Sharron Miller McKenzie, Press Office Manager, Scottish and Southern Energy Plc

Media First’s approach was thoroughly professional. They took time to understand our needs, and delivered admirably, giving us tools to work with afterwards. The trainers built our confidence and gave us some fantastic tips, leading to us feeling far more confident in our abilities. The training was of high quality and our skills undoubtedly developed under the superb guidance of the trainers. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to others."

Andrea Singh, HR Director, BAM

The training we received from Media First was invaluable and has certainly made us rethink how we approach every opportunity to communicate our message. Their trainers really pushed us out of our comfort zone, but we came away feeling confident and equipped to handle different situations and share our story with a much wider audience."

Veronica Maxted, Director of Renewables, RS Group

Absolutely superb training. I've been on the course twice, and both times got a huge amount from it. The first moment the microphone came out I was terrified, but by the end of the day I felt confident handling even the most obstructive and confrontational journalist. The learning’s can be used in so many other fields as well (i.e. giving presentations) that this training is invaluable. The lead journalist is highly experienced & an excellent trainer."
