Our history in providing generator back up and support to various NHS Trusts - spanning 10 years - has seen us entrusted with some critical projects - including powering refrigeration units housing Swine Flu vaccines for the North West.

Managing emergency call-outs is also crucial, and in 2008 the team successfully managed an overnight call out at Whiston Hospital, Merseyside, requiring us to provide immediate back-up power via a hire set generator to supply the hospital''s burns unit. Work undertaken: Our work for the NHS includes: • Installing standard and bespoke generators • Maintenance work • 24 hour, 7 day a week call out service (with a 2 hour response guaranteed) • Installation of LV distribution systems • Generator control panel upgrades and retrofit work.
