What’s been happening…

Staff and Site Protection

Exceptional security and protection of staff and site are paramount for many of our larger, industrial customers, so if we can help in delivering that in the most efficient and effective way we’re always willing.

Such was the case for Stephenson Gobin where we installed additional power supply and distribution boards for a new automated access gate solution, alongside GRN ConstructionGrec Systems Ltd., AutoClock Systems Ltd., with electrcial supplies from City Electrical Factors.

You can read more about the works here, or call us to have a chat about what you are looking for for your site, 01388 833836.

Helping to Feed the Region’s Future Influencers

A new school kitchen extension and refit for St. Joseph’s RC Primary School, alongside Vest Construction, gave us the task of a full rewire, as well as some small power installations.

It makes us feel good knowing that we could be involved in ensuring the future of our country is being fully fed and watered.

Does your school need an upgrade? Call us and we can have a chat.

It can’t all be about work…

Last month we decided to take things down a notch and have a relaxed catch-up over a delicious cooked breakfast at Tinsdale Crossing Brewsters.

We all spend so much time together we’re a bit like a family, so it was great to have a bit of downtime together without the pressures of work. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, so it’s looking like it will become a regular event.

Happy days

Hints & Tips

Maximise your green energy use by installing battery storage

If you’ve already had solar panels installed, it’s well worth considering having a solar energy storage battery retrofitted to boost your solar power solution.

Why?

  • Lower energy bills
  • greater ‘off-grid independence’ and self-sufficiency
  • backup power source to reduce the impact of interrupted grid supply/outages
  • reduces the carbon footprint of your business or home
  • ensures whatever excess power your solar panels produce isn’t wasted
  • allows greater harnassing of clean, green energy
  • allows access to power at any time of the day
  • low maintenance

Pop a monthly check into your diary and you’ll know you’re prepared for the unexpected.
