I worked for the North West Electricity Board for approximately 10 years, during which time I served 2 electrical apprenticeships. One as an electrician and one as a linesman on the overhead power lines.
During this time I covered various aspects of the electrical industry including domestic, commercial and industrial installation and fault finding, appliance repair and installation and maintenance of overhead power cables up to 33,000 volts, installation and jointing of underground cables, estimating and design; Tree surgery course, a JCB driving course, Health and Safety Course, First Aid Course. I was also a member of the First Aid Team taking part in various competitions over several years and attending several serious road accidents.
I have since had my own business for over 20 years, during which time I have worked in most areas of the electrical industry and trained many apprentices.
