This week the Western Gazette announced their official shortlist for the Business Awards 2016. A full shortlist is available on their website http://www.digital-thisis.co.uk/somerset/businessawards/finalists/

So it’s our 1 year anniversary this month and I hope that at least a handful of you have heard the name ‘PC Electricals’ as we have been hard at work promoting electrical safety for homes and businesses across Dorset and Somerset on social media. With the media reporting ‘cowboys’ damaging peoples houses, everyone should have basic knowledge about how to stay safe and if not, you should know someone who does.

So you’ve got an electrical fault and as usual its happened at the most inconvenient moment: do you need to call an electrician, or is it something you can fix? When is the right time to call an electrician?

Are you yet to decide upon a New Years Resolution? Then make one that could save your life!

Why not choose a more useful resolution that could not only save the life of you and your family, but one which could help other people in the process. Make electrical safety your resolution for 2016 –you can use your knowledge you learn to help others.

With Christmas here before we know it, it’s essential to ensure we are all safe over the festive period. The increasing requirements we put on our electrical installations goes up each year with more and more festive lights, gadgets and appliances.
