Client Testimonials

Firstly, we appreciate your teams support and ongoing attendance for surveying the potential damage of switchgear and associated equipment after the water/flood on site. Much appreciated for the support, it was a great response time and was welcomed by the ISS team.

“Can you please pass on a big thank you to all involved in cable repairs at Long Reach. The team was excellent as usual with their fault finding, planning and hard work throughout repair works. The team worked in difficult circumstances, Covid, bad weather, and the unpleasant conditions that come with working on a waste water site.”

“We have just received a very nice email from the Honda Europe FM who looks after the building. She was thoroughly impressed by the professionalism of the PTL staff during the weekends works so I would like to say thank you for your hard work, I know these shifts are challenging under the circumstances.”

“Regarding: 10 Gresham Street maintenance I wanted to say how happy we are with the services you provided to us for the shutdown weekend. From the install of gen and lighting to the maintenance and then the collection on Monday of temp install was a professional and upfaulted effort by all of your staff. The client was over the moon with the whole experience and we look forward to booking you in for next year’s works. Please pass thanks on to all who worked at 10 Gresham over the weekend. Many thanks for your assistance also Lynn, having a contact that is as approachable as you make’s my life so much easier.”

“1. Please note below, some further feedback on the performance of the Power Testing staff when supporting our work at Riverside STW yesterday. You would appreciate that at sometimes our work requires some measure of flexibility and understanding. In this regard, you team has been supportive to all the work being carried out yesterday. Please do pass on our appreciation and thanks to the team. 2. I would like to express on what a great job the Power Testing Engineers carried out at Riverside yesterday. Lots of work going on commission new EPOs with the UKPN engineer, and also helping out during the riverside site black start. Always Working safe and in a professional manner.”

“I wanted to firstly thank your team for their patience and their efforts on the weekend supporting us in our maintenance shutdown, it was a long day and managing the power system to ensure that the clients essential & critical loads were supported was important to our client. Extreme gratitude to your two Engineers for assisting with the control/trip issue on TX1 Feeder at the end of the day.”

“I just wanted to drop you a note to express my personal gratitude for all the work completed at Wigan. The team have worked extremely hard and it has been a pleasure to work with such professional individuals. Our deadlines for this project have been challenging and the lads have gone over and above what normally might be expected. There were several points where their excellent problem-solving skills and creativity allowed us to swiftly resolve issues that might have easily escalated into roadblocks. They are truly great ambassadors for your company. Please pass along my thanks and appreciation for all their effort and I will look forward to working with them in the future.”

“Michael managed the project very well especially the bumps in the road that always occur particularly on this occasion with Border Force. He is very personable, professional and knowledgeable and managed to coordinate the works very well as the projects merged into the same timeline. He managed the UKPN contact very well who was surprisingly helpful for a UKPN person. I would be more than happy to have Michael work on my projects again in the future and think you have found another gem to add to the team at PT! I reckon four or five years working the PT way, buy him a PT flat cap and you may have another Fitz on your hands! As for Charlie, all I can say is Top Fella! Charlie is great, gets on with it, runs the team well and is very organised. He made it his mission to build a relationship with me and the client. If you carry on recruiting and training guys to Charlie’s standard, then you are simply winning all the way! Another diamond within the PT team and the reason I will continue to use your services moving forward. I would like to add that no one asked me to write into you and all your team were good. But both Michael and Charlie really stood out so I thought you would like to know.”

‘All went very well, very impressed with the guys and how easy it was to replace the old ACB with the new plug and play, well done.’

‘As the installation work is now complete on the Brick Lane UPS / LV replacement project and whilst we transfer load back onto the new systems can I take this opportunity, on behalf of our department, to thank yourselves and your site team for the excellent work carried out. As you’re aware, this was again, as system 1 & 2, a critical path programme with zero float days and to achieve the planned daily targets whilst interacting with other companies is no mean feat. Also your involvement in the planning and coordination phase was crucial to the success of the project so we thank you all for your assistance and early agreements to the programme. Your site engineers interacted with all other trades, including our Operations department, sky security personnel, project designer and the Health and Safety person in a polite professional manner, thankfully with some good humour thrown in, all of which was instrumental in the success of this project. Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved from your organisation..’

Through the tender stage various clarifications were requested by CBRE; Chris Williamson was always responsive, in a timely manner and with everything requested, far exceeding the efforts of the other tenderers.

Overall your company has been a pleasure to deal with, we have had good communications and the preparation work was ok. The team led by yourself and Paul Wright were very good and I would have no issue in recommending your services. I wish you well in your future business and hope to work with you again.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank your excellent team for the exceptional work they carried out. As you are aware, this was a highly technically challenging project with a demanding programme carried out in two phases. The programme was extremely important for the business as it contained a number of black building testing dates which were difficult to plan and were not moveable yet your team met all the agreed milestones and completed all phases of the project on time.

The HV and LV cabling works were excellent in both sub-stations. Technically the project involved integration with the HSS switchgear (18 VCB’s and 6 Earth switches) with the Central Computer System (CCS), the Generator Control System (GCS) and the BMS systems which your staff carried out professionally. I was particularly impressed how Josh, Peter and Patrick managed to find the panel faults and how they liaised with the manufacturer and resolved them for us without any fuss.

Your whole of your team used on this project were fantastic, totally professional with remarkable knowledge of protection systems. I would like to give particular thanks to Josh and Peter taking the lead supported by Tony, Mick, Harvey, Dan and the rest of your engineering team involved.

Also a big thanks to your office support team of Chris W, Dylan in organising your teams, help keeping us on programme and sorting out UKPN attendance and their respective orders.”

Just to say a big thank you to yourself and all the engineers that attended over the weekend. We lost a lot of hours due to issues out of our control and also had a few problems on the switchgear but the lads were brilliant and sorted out all the problems and managed to make the hours back so we could complete around the time we had previously planned. So please pass on our thanks.

“I don’t normally do this however credit where credit is due. Johnny & Alex, the gents you sent to complete the link box repairs, out did themselves with their performance and persistence on
the job. The Job has been completed to a really high standard when all the odds were stacked against them, the boys ended up working through till around 8pm in an awkward environment.
They also patiently waited for us to sort control issues with starting pump to ensure the job got completed on time.
Thank you for organising the repair and please pass my thanks onto the guys who stayed late and ensured the job got completed.”
