“Methodist Homes currently provide support and housing to 18,000 older people across the UK so achieving electrical compliance in all our care homes is imperative. I have worked with ECS for several years and would highly recommend their electrical services. They are leading the industry when it comes to electrical inspections, providing outstanding electrical expertise and outstanding customer service. Working with ECS Ltd makes my job easier. Their electrical compliance management software means that we have complete visibility of our contract. We can see what work has been completed, what work there is left to do and can easily access all the certifications.
