Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Back to university again

25th February 2022

We were delighted to receive confirmation this week that we’ve been re-engaged by two prestigious Cambridge University colleges – Trinity and Fitzwilliam – to undertake their annual PAT testing. Due to the nature of their sites, these are complex projects that require extensive planning, especially as we need to minimise any disruption to the day-to-day running of the colleges.

For Mark Smith, owner of MS Electrical, repeat bookings such as these are confirmation of the company’s ability to manage large projects across multiple locations without causing inconvenience to the students and staff. ‘We love working for the Cambridge colleges as we know that we can carry out their PAT testing efficiently without disrupting the students’ academic progress,’ says Mark. ‘Having been of service to a number of colleges over the years, we know how they work and how we need to structure the project, so it’s beneficial for both parties.”

MS Electrical Services offer PAT testing in Cambridge, so please contact us for advice or to request a no-obligation quotation.

Testimonials

I recently had the need to employ an electrical contractor to install a number of charging points within our dealership, in order to prepare for Audi’s growth in the supply and servicing of electric vehicles. We needed three sockets installed in our workshop in order to facilitate the electric charging of vehicles whilst they are in our care. In addition to this we required the installation of an interior and exterior charging point that would add convenience for our customers should their vehicles need charging on site. We contacted a number of electrical companies to discuss this requirement and to quote for the work to be completed. Of all the contractors, I have to say that MS Electrical Services were by far the most accommodating. Mark Smith took time out to come and survey our dealership at no extra cost, to ensure we all understood the exact requirements. Knowing that we operate an extremely busy workshop and sales operation, Mark suggested that he complete the works over a Saturday and Sunday in order to minimise the disruption on site. I found his company extremely professional, reliable and good value. I am extremely happy with the work carried out and would not hesitate in recommending his company to anyone.
