As previously mentioned, we believe passionately in investing in our people and, to reinforce our sense of value towards them, we offer a range of learning and development opportunities, as follows:
All of our engineers are required to participate in the product-specific training that is a requirement for our ongoing status as an approved ‘System Installer’ for HellermanTyton, Leviton and Excel, which also provides the necessary skills to perform full Category 6 certification testing using Fluke testers.
Our Senior Installers are also trained to terminate and test fibre optic cables, including the use of OTDR testers where required.
Our Senior Installers are also required to participate in First Aid training.

Developed and/or delivered internally, we offer two further training programmes, aimed specifically at enhancing our people’s relationship skills, both with customers and colleagues:
