Insurance was the excuse my manager gave for making me do weldtech though in reality I think it was more about making it look like he was doing staff development since I’d been in post for a few years by that point.
There was no requirement for qualifications in the couple lbs I worked for nor Halfords but I left the last lbs almost 9 years ago so yeah, things may have changed.

Nah, but every shop likes to add bikes assembled or serviced by fully qualified cytech mechanics. It's pretty meaningless but I guess it warranties a minimum standard, there's a lot of useless mechanics about since it pays so bad.

When I worked in Halfords 30+ years ago, it wasn’t even an expectation, hence a lot of dangerous bikes left the shop. I just imagine in this more litigation-heavy world, a business insurer would insist on some kind of professional accreditation.

This is true, and IMO preferable. I just wonder if business insurance insists these days on a formal qualification? I'm not on that side of the counter, hence my question.
