Learning the Art of Control

After a weekend which  saw the majority of the group visit three countries in 24 hours, sip Champagne under the Eiffel Tower, and eat chocolates in Brugge, we were back in to learning mode.

Our training today was with the Priva company, who are official training partners with Chisholm for Controlled Environment Horticulture.

Our arrival was formally recognised on the main TV screen as we arrived - our claim to fame!

Our training was at the De Lier head quarters of Priva, which in itself is a unique and impressive building that utilses a geo-thermal heat source for both heating and cooling, and we were given a guided tour by Priva's export manager, Dennis de Witt..

The day saw us all being trained on the Priva Integro climate control system by Priva's climate expert Hein Jasperse. The challenge now is to translate the new found knowledge in to some practical strategies when we return to Cranbourne under Tony's watchful eye!
