Akona recently hosted a Gripple Innovation Demo Day, attended by Network Rail contractors and OLEC 2 learners, to showcase the latest forked collar following its recent product approval within the industry. We have a strong track record of working with key stakeholders to raise industry standards around the correct installation and maintenance of products in the market.

By utilising our state-of-the-art, NSAR-approved indoor training centre and our electrification training specialists, we can provide hands-on trials in a safe, simulated environment. This approach not only enhances understanding but will also support the sales process by helping clients clearly see the value of Gripple’s products.

 

“Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Gripple. Thanks to Akona’s outstanding facilities and expertise, we’ve been able to create a controlled, hands-on environment that brings contractors and learners together. This collaboration not only showcases the technical advantages of our latest solutions, such as the forked collar, but also reinforces best practice across the industry. By collaborating/partnering with Akona, we ensure participants experience safer, more efficient installation methods while seeing firsthand the value our products bring to electrification projects.”
