My Electrical Background and Competency

I left school and became a surgical instrument grinder. Doing my apprenticeship at William Skidmores. The day that the accreditation person came to the factory to pass me as a fully qualified wet grinder was the day I told the boss that I had signed up to Join the Royal Navy. While serving as an Ordnance Electrical Mechanic on Submarines, I worked on ‘heavy’ electrical equipment. 110v, 240v, 440v and High pressure air and Hydraulics. Progressing from a ‘Junior rate’ to become a senior rate and after a 3 year electronic engineering course I passed out as an electronics engineer. BTEC Higher Certificate and BTEC Diploma.

After 33 Years

I left the RN and started my own PAT Testing Business. My clients included Software Companies, Charitable Giving, Student Accommodation, Hairdressers, Social Clubs, Metal Engineering Company, Builders and a Diving Training company to name a few. Unfortunately, in 2018 I had to move closer to Family in Sheffield. So the PAT testing was put on hold. Now I am back in ‘sunny’ Plymouth and raring to go. Give Abele Electrical Testing a try. You won’t be disappointed.
