I have just spent a day volunteering at Leyton College in east London and it was such a rewarding experience. I want to encourage colleagues to use these two days a year, we get to do community work.
I started with the company in the same year England won the World Cup, as an apprentice electrical fitter, aged just 16. Back in my apprentice days, they said that if you stayed for the first five years, then you would stay for the rest. Well, that certainly turned out to be true in my case!
Over the last few months we’ve been busy contacting trade associations and accreditation bodies to help raise awareness of the risks when working near electricity. We especially want people to look out for electricity cables that are buried underground and in the walls of buildings.
