Briggs & Stratton distributor Central Spares Ltd have supported one of their technical support staff through the coveted B&S Master Service Technicians training course.

Technical Consultant Freddie Jackson aged 24 who joined Central in January 2013 had no previous experience in small engine servicing, but had spent time tinkering with cars and motorcycles.

Operations Manager at Central, Jackie Burrows said, ‘Freddie has studied for an enormous number of hours, outside of work, to attain this coveted certification. He also spent time working on the bench with one of our local servicing dealers Penn Lawnmowers and we really appreciate their assistance. I am told by B&S that there are only 297 MST appointments in the UK - which makes this achievement by Freddie in just six months very prestigious.’
