Dear Clients / Partners,

We wanted to reach out to you from Power Testing as we continue to see our
work environment ever-changing during this pandemic.

In acknowledgement of the Government’s announcement of another lockdown
from 6th January 2021, Power Testing wanted to reassure you that our approach
and controls means we can and will continue to meet your requirements and
maintain our high quality of work.

Our service commitment to all our Clients and Partners remains the same.

• • 24/7/365 Call out facilities are still fully active and available; engineers
  are equipped with additional PPE to ensure our client and staff safety is
  maintained when attending call-outs.
• • Any urgent breakdown call outs or site work requiring additional
  resources will be supported by one of our work party teams. They
  operate in a small work bubble and adhere to our strict control measures
  to ensure we always keep our people and clients safe.
• • Our head office is open from 07-30 to 16-00 with a reduced number of
  key people to assist with any day to day enquires. Our office is COVID -19
  safe, with a detailed risk assessment completed to ensure staff safety.
• • We have invested in a state-of-the-art video call and I.T. equipment to
  ensure that our staff working remotely are fully contactable and available
  for you when needed.

Power Testing has continued to invest and train our workforce during this
pandemic and we will continue to review and update our procedures to ensure
we develop and enhance our safety culture and safe system of work.

It is critical that in these times we can operate in a way to protect our people, our
clients and Partners, along with ensuring we still meet your needs and maintain
Power Testing’s reputation for a high-quality service, which our controls have
allowed us to do in full during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Should you need our expertise, please do not hesitate to get in contact with one
of Client Relationship Supervisors, who can assist with your enquiry.

In little over a year, Peter has become an integral part of the team and has recently been promoted to our 2nd ever Grade 1 Technician – in line with the Technician Gradings that Pat has put together.

Peter is going from strength to strength and now has Thermo under his hat after successfully completing his course and continues to excel in his day to day Technician duties and flexibility.

Congratulations Peter.

Harvey has advanced from an Apprentice to Technician, to now our first ever Grade 1 Technician – in line with the Technician Gradings that Pat has put together. Harvey has excelled in maintenance as well as installations – and he even managed to survive Pat’s gruelling grilling!!

Congratulations Harvey, well deserved.

Sean joined us in April 2015 and has gone from strength to strength. A crucial member of the Projects Team acting as a Supervisor, the current Safety Champion, new Health & Safety & Wellbeing Representative and now Head of Jointing – how many titles can one fella have?
 
Respected by his colleagues, it is testament to his work ethic, knowledge, experience, and diligence that he has well and truly earned this promotion.
 
Respected by his colleagues, the Jointing division is an area the company would like to grow in the near future and Sean will be key to this, as well as ensuring necessary support and development for the current Jointers, meaning the division is in safe hands. Congratulations Sean. And he clearly doesn’t mind getting dirty!!

Mark joined as a Trainee Jointer back in December 2012, switching to a Technician’s role several years later. Since that change, Mark has grown into the role and excelled as a Technician under Kev Smith’s initial tutorship.
 
Across the last 18 months, Mark has taken on more responsibility, both in terms of Thames Water Lightning Protection works and also qualifying as a Qualified Supervisor for NICEIC works, where he has been running his own jobs.
 
An intelligent guy (apart from supporting the Gunners) with much more to come, Mark joins the elite club of Senior Technicians – congratulations Mark, thoroughly deserved and great to see your development and progression over the years.

Catrin joined us in 2014, helping out with administration in the office. Her attention for detail and diligence set her apart – and she has been on an upward trajectory ever since. From heading up our fleet to overseeing training to ensuring all Health and Safety documentation is up to date, she has proven time and time again that she is up to any task.

So when we set the new teams based structure in 2020, Catrin was an obvious choice to take the next step and head up her own Client Team, looking after a portfolio of some of our most cherished clients, including Thames Water and Smart. Her planning, organisation and communication skills makes her invaluable to her team and sets the right impression for her clients.

Lauren completed her 1^st year with us on 7^th January 2020 and is going from strength to strength, which is a testament to her hard work, diligence and ‘can do’ attitude.  She understands the company, is supportive and has proved herself to be a very quick learner.

Initially brought in as a Reports Administrator, Lauren’s client focus and passion for problem-solving have seen her develop into a key member of the Operations team.

Lauren has demonstrated fantastic planning and organisational skills on Anglian Water that has seen a consistent flow of work and as well as continuing in this role, Lauren will also take up the same role for United Utilities in the North, whilst additionally focusing on new business opportunities in the North West.

Exciting times for Lauren and the Operations department.

Lynn’s inside knowledge of the industry, clients and services made her excel in her Estimator role and she forged strong relationships with both clients and staff due to her accommodating and helpful nature.
In 2020, Lynn stepped into the Client Relationship Supervisor role, heading up her own team alongside two of our longest serving Contract Engineers, ensuring all avenues are covered for her clients.

Steve was chosen as our first ever Client Relationship Supervisor, devoting his time to looking after a dedicated list of clients such as CBRE, scheduling efficiently, ensuring his team are well prepared and organised and making sure works run as smooth as possible. This role was tailor made for Steve with his attention to detail, insider knowledge and experience.

Alex joined Power Testing in May 2019 as a Trainee Jointer, he has continued to impress all who have worked with him with his ‘can do’ attitude and willingness to learn.

Our 2019 Rising Star, it was only a matter of time before his first promotion.

Back in July 2020, following an internal assessment, Alex was made up to an LV Jointer and is well on his way to becoming a fully competent HV Jointer in the near future – watch this space.

Congratulations Alex, great first 18 months and please keep up the great work.
