Success for Bridlington RNLI Mechanics
Congratulations are in order as two RNLI Mechanics from Bridlington lifeboat station successfully passed out as qualified mechanics on Wednesday 12 January.
Joff Pearson and Jordan Harrison, two of the lifeboat station’s volunteer crew, have now qualified as mechanics after working hard through their training plan requirements for the past six months to become fully operational in the mechanics role on service calls.
The success further bolsters the amount of qualified mechanics at the station. Both volunteers were put through their paces during a rather surprising calm winters day on the all-weather lifeboat throughout the day.
All the team at the charity’s lifeboat station offer ‘congratulations’ to both and a huge ‘well done’.
