Safeguarding Your Business through Electrical Safety

Why You Should Be Testing Your Emergency Lights

You'll be seeing our name subtly change moving forward as our services start to extend on PAT Testing. More on the new services will be announced in due course.

You've read it, heard it and said it more than a thousand times in the last week, but we really are in unprecedented times. Before anything else, we want to wish every one of you the very best of health and hope that you can stay healthy in these most uncertain of times. We here at Purplewood Electrical have our eyes glued on developments but importantly, we are still working. There are many small businesses who will be worried about surviving, just like ourselves, but our hearts go out to you all. On Friday, 20th March, the PAT Testing Trade Association sent an open letter regarding PAT testing, which you can see in full below. Please take a moment to read through it. You may now be working from home, or be one of a few that are still going in, but the result of this means PAT Testing can be carried out at the workplace without interrupting your day to day activities. Unless we are told otherwise, we will be still be working and still visiting clients. We will follow any COVID-19 stipulations you may make - temperature tests, masks, anti-bac hand gel, gloves, we don't mind, we will prioritise your health and ours. We are a small business, very small in fact, but with BIG plans to be so much more. We have an opportunity to continue trading currently, and aim to make the most of it all the time we can. To do so though, we still need enquiries and new clients. If you know your PAT Testing is due, please do give us a call on 01323 707808 or email info@purplewood.co.uk and we'll be happy to help. PAT Testing is about keeping people safe and it shouldn't be ignored. We understand it might not seem like a priority currently, but at a time when keeping people healthy is at the forefront, it should be a reminder as to how important it is. We're also busy working on ways to help make it easier for both businesses and landlords to get their PAT testing done and hope to announce something more on this in the coming days. Normally, our communications are signed off with #StayPATSafe but, for the time being, we'd like to simplify it and extend it to everyone, not just those who read this. #StaySafe

Purplewood PAT Testers are delighted to announce that we will be a shirt sponsor at the Country Oak Barns Charity Cup 2020. This great charity football match on Sunday, April 26th, features a host of celebrities and will be raising money for not one but two amazing charities. Both the Williams Syndrome Foundation and the Evelina London hospital will benefit from the money raised. Please get down to Crowborough Community Stadium, Crowborough East Sussex, from 11:30AM on the day to help support these great causes - and have a great time to boot!
