Introducing Mike Szwacki, our dedicated vehicle wrap expert here at the Training Academy. Having Mike on board with us at William Smiths is a massive coup for the company, as Mike today is one of the best wrappers in the world and is very much top of his game. 

With a number of world acclaimed wrapping awards to his name and decades of experience under his belt, Mike is the perfect individual to teach you the ropes of vehicle wrapping.

As demand grows at the William Smith Training Academy, Tom joined the team in January 2021 with a specific interest in vinyl fitting and installation.

Now part of the Training Academy, Tom delivers courses, continues to develop his application skills, and learns from experienced trainers. While developing across multiple application types, Tom is particularly drawn to the Architectural sector, calling it “an exciting and growing market.” We’re proud to support his development and look forward to his future as a trainer.

Introducing John Raine, Training & Applications Manager here at the Training Academy. No stranger to William Smiths, John has been with us nearly a decade now and has a fountain of knowledge from both technical and application standpoint that he can pass onto delegates coming through the Training Academy.

Being an expert in both the architectural and vehicle wrap fields, there is a great chance you’ll be trained by John when you visit the Training Academy.
