Business Link:

Electrical Contractors

Business Link – North West

At DJT Electrical Engineering Consultancy we are asked almost daily to give some form of recommendation or advice to an electrical contractor or sole trader, which ranges from – “what is the best test instrument to buy?” to “who has the cheapest Public Liability Insurance?”

This Business Link page is designed to assist local contractors in purchasing materials or services, and while they are based on our best and current judgment as a company, there are certainly many alternatives to those companies and services we have recommended.

We have broken the page into clear categories, and always make an effort to offer more than one alternative for a service or provision.

If you know of any first-rate deals or services that we are missing from this page, please e-mail your suggestions to dave.tinsley@wmc.ac.uk.
