The electrical industry has counted on my client for over a century to deliver products that perform. Their heritage and dedication give their customers the tools and assurance to get the job done.

Each Fire Performance cable manufactured is the result of independent research and development long before the British Standard was available. This is part of my client's long term development of the next generation of fire resistant cables for life safety and property protection. These cables are essential to many industries including, Renewables, Telecoms and many more.

This role will involve travel, mostly within the UK, but occasionally overseas.
