STEVE SKINNER PRESENTATIONS

I started my working career as a Student Apprentice with the Dowty Group in Cheltenham. After gaining a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bath I joined Vickers Sperry Rand and began my 40-year involvement with hydraulic fluid power systems. During this time I have been involved with most aspects of hydraulic systems including circuit design, on-site commissioning and troubleshooting, sales and marketing but have spent most of my career, and gained most satisfaction from, developing and presenting training courses. While much of this training has been of a technical nature involving the technologies, products and systems used in hydraulic applications, I have also prepared and delivered courses on other topics such as basic finance, presentation techniques, employee performance appraisals, auditing and on-the-job training techniques. I enjoy the challenge of explaining complex concepts in simple, down-to-earth ways and am a great believer in the power of analogies..
