Workforce

As an employer we undertake our responsibilities and operate under guidelines as set out by the HVCA,  NICEIC, ECA and other bodies.

We are proud of our industrial relations record with our workforce of over sixty site operatives.

We work closely with the building services sectors of TASS, CITB, HVCA (Heating, Ventilating and Contractors Association), NICEIC (National Inspection Council Electrical Installation Contracting), JIB (Joint Industry Board for the Electrical Contracting Industry) and ACOP (Approved Code Of Practice) who in turn assist with advice on our training programme, and we are therefore assured of the quality and reliability we offer existing and prospective clients.   One of our apprentices won HVCA Craft Trainee of the Year Award in 2009 and we are continually reviewing our staff training requirements.
