Mid-sized commercial although we have just completed a large installation in Islington.
Is third party accreditation beneficial?
Yes.
What is the best thing about working in this industry?
I love solving fire and security problems for the customer. Repairing faults that are a major challenge and difficult give me a great thrill. Then seeing the customer happy afterwards makes it all worthwhile.

Our main manufacturers are Paxton, Hikvision and Texecom.
Do you think there is a skills shortage in the industry? Have you had any trouble recruiting?
Not at present.
