Victoria Prentis, the recently re-elected MP for Banbury and North Oxfordshire, enjoyed a tour around ISSEE on Friday 25th January 2020, welcoming the company to Bloxham after its offices and teaching facilities relocated to Bloxham Mill at the end of 2019.

Victoria was welcomed by ISSEE’s committed team of instructors and support staff at the new location, and she was impressed by the contemporary, accessible new facilities that comprise ISSEE’s classrooms, exhibition rooms, refectory, breakout areas and offices.

Victoria met students from Brunei and Barbados attending ISSEE’s flagship International Ammunition Technician course, an advanced 24-week programme taught by experienced ex-British Army Ammunition Technicians who are also accomplished instructors in the army and police. The demanding training teaches the participants to be able to safely identify, handle, store, transport, repair, manage and dispose of munitions and explosive natures.
