As part of BFPA’s ongoing commitment to raising standards across the fluid power industry, the association has strengthened its training and technical support capability with two new appointments.
With more than 30 years’ experience in the fluid power sector, Andy Dickens has joined BFPA as Training Technical Manager. He has held senior roles in technical sales, product management and training at several major fluid power companies, bringing with him a wealth of technical knowledge and hands‑on training expertise. In this new position, Andy will provide technical support to members and contribute to the delivery of BFPA’s training courses and qualifications, working alongside approved training providers nationwide.
Linda Busacker has also joined the association as Learning and Development Lead, bringing over 20 years of cross‑sector experience spanning engineering, research, education, corporate
branding and environmental services. Linda has a strong background in multidisciplinary collaboration and has worked closely with clients, subcontractors and senior leaders to ensure high‑quality, compliant and effective outcomes.
With 22 approved companies now authorised to deliver BFPA training, the programme continues to grow in scale and reputation. These organisations deliver one or more of the BFPA’s specialised courses, covering hose technology, hydrostatic pressure testing, twin ferrule compression fittings, hydraulics and pneumatics. Nearly 20,000 individuals have now been trained to an industry
standard—reflecting BFPA’s continued leadership in setting high‑quality training benchmarks both in the UK and internationally
