Its just generally shock the lack of knowledge about our industry I mean il be the first to hold my hands up and say I dont know something hence this post but most people out there think wee chuck cables in turn it on job done less work and skill then a chippy .
I work for a company a while back and they where pulling away from sub contracted companies to build there own team so on I come thinking im gonna be one of a few sparks because thats what they said, day one I asked who they where registered with puzzled look was received so I explained NIC and the others to them they then looked it up and decided to give that a miss for a few months because membership was expensive ,I was then sent to help a guy out on a site for a couple days it turned out he was a 3rd year apprentice who was doing the job alone, the company had no electrical design engineers and they did manor houses hotels and other commercial properties so a guy would come onto site say sockets there there and there no proper designs where done no proper specs where done for the CU,s they where doing it like it was a one man band doing small housing rewires.
Needless to say I was there a week.

Show my qualifications that I know could be faked
Insurance As well

But I'm no business person, people want to haggle after the job is done
