Ian Mower
Electrical Contracts Manager
I have been employed with Blake Electrical since 2000.
I served a four year indentured apprenticeship and I am a JIB Approved electrician, with 40 years’ experience in industrial, commercial and domestic installations, ranging from oil refineries to churches and shopping centres to fashion houses.
I spent over 10 years self-employed either sub contracting or running and pricing my own works.
With Blake Electrical, I do the electrical quotes and large estimating projects.
I am in charge of 9 electricians and apprentices I run day to day as well as project manage all electrical installations / testing jobs.
I am one of 3 NICEIC qualifying supervisors responsible for the quality of installations and testing and am qualified to BS7671 2008 amendment 3; 2015 as well as BAFE qualified.
We work for a variety of public sector organisations including: Essex County Council, Southend Borough Council, Essex Police and Overrail Services to mention but a few.
We carry out regular maintenances, testing and installations for large private management companies in London, Essex and Kent, but we also deal with the general public from breakdowns, small installations and rewires.
I deal with a large and varied client base, meeting all sorts of people which keeps my job very interesting.
