Any guesses which (Northern Ireland?) electrician company this might be???

[bahum]

I'll try to keep it short:

Back in 2014 we had an electrical company from Northern Ireland do some work for us in the Luton and Bedford areas of England. I don't remember their name (hence the question), all I know is they used to come to the area SEVERAL weeks in a row in the summer and they used to stay at Stockwood Hotel in Luton.

Brahams are based in Warrenpoint aren't they?

I had just spoke to Thomas Braham today about another electrical job ,never occurred to me at the time to ask him, about this !post

Loads of companies here work on the mainland. Have you any idea what project they where working at the time?

And surely it's not going to be that cost effective to get them to come over and put them up in a hotel to do a bit of work for you?

As I said in my previous posts I'm asking this for my father who is not very good with computers and I don't know all the details atm.

I would have more chance of guessing the six numbers!!!!!!
You still haven't said what type of work they did for your father

Doesn't look like we'll find out...…...a few weeks work….wired his extension, maybe?

Be patient, this post has only been on for a day and a half. I'll have to get in touch with my father again.

Hope that's not some sort of euphemism.

So far potential candidates (or however you want to call them) are:

Harvey Group
Graham Group
Braham Electrical
JR Electrical Contractors Northern Ireland (this one rings a bit of a bell)
Blackbourne Mechanical and Electrical
Phoenix Electrical Services Northern Ireland Ltd

What sort of electrical work did they carry out for your company ,Domestic,commercial or industrial
Maybe that will start to narrow it down a bit
But it is most likely they were sub contractors working for some of the large companies

PS the rest of you behave yourselves ,before we send Paddy,Mick and Seamus over to sort you out

Why do you think they were most likely subcontractors.

 

[Risteard]

Why do you think they were most likely subcontractors.

Because that's how the world works.

 

[bahum]

Because that's how the world works.

I mean what about this situation makes you think they were most likely subcontractors? Is it the distance between NI and South-East England?

I may be completely off the mark here but isn't hiring sub-contractors more expensive than letting your own employees do the work(sorta like agency staff vs your own staff in other fields)?

88 posts long and we still don't even know the type of job that this contractor done. Surely your father can tell you that much

I might have mentioned this in one of my previous posts but we're not that close and we don't speak that often...

It was most likely industrial/commercial and not domestic though.
