T2 Strengthens Its Team With Autocad Guru Ken White

Aug. 5, 2008 - PRLog -- T2 Design Solutions, specialists in design innovation technology support, has secured the services of AutoTRAIN founder Ken White as part of growth plans for its training and consultancy arm.  The integration of Ken’s expertise adds a significant new dimension to T2’s AutoCAD capability and signals its intent to become Autodesk’s Authorised Training Centre (ATC) of choice for the North and Midlands.

Ken has been using AutoCAD for well over 20 years (shortly after its introduction to the UK in 1985) and set up his company AutoTRAIN in 1989 working as an independent AutoCAD consultant, trainer and software developer.  He cut his teeth in the industry when he set-up one of the very first ATC’s in the UK in 1986 and from there as a Training Consultant for Autodesk, creator of AutoCAD and the world’s leading supplier of design software and as National Training Manager for DCA Engineering, (now Softdesk inc.), of New Hampshire, USA.  Softdesk inc., the largest producers of Construction Engineering software in the world, is now incorporated into Autodesk.  Ken is qualified as a Mechanical/Structural Design Engineer and was a full-time Senior Lecturer in Computer Aided Design technologies for many years prior to joining Autodesk.  

Under the AutoTRAIN brand, Ken has built a loyal client base across the length and breadth of the UK, with projects for clients including AEA Technology, British Nuclear Fuels plc, ABB Engineering, Rolls Royce Turbines, various NHS Trusts, and Manchester Airport.  He has also experienced huge success with his training style and product knowledge with many of the country’s Councils, including Dorset, Lancashire, Gwynedd, Salford, Staffordshire, Blackpool, North Ayrshire, and Anglesey to name but a few.

Tony Markham, T2’s Founder and Managing Director, says: “We are absolutely delighted to have been able to attract and secure an agreement with Ken, one of the most highly regarded individuals within the UK Autodesk market place.  As well as bringing a wealth of training experience with him we are looking forward to collaborating with Ken to further develop and enhance his own CAD Standards Systems and AutoCAD ‘plug-in’ software, CAD Manager, a drawing management system.”

Ken adds: “I am really excited to be working with T2.   Our companies share similar values; we both always put our clients first and are committed to innovating to improve their experience.  T2’s vision aligns perfectly with how I want to build on AutoTRAIN’s success to date.  It’s really exciting to imagine what we can achieve by pooling our skills and experience.  By combining the passion, creativity, and technology of both our companies, we will continue to drive innovations that help people and organisations everywhere communicate better.  For my existing clients it will mean an even better and wider ranging service.”
