Colin Jackson CBE has opened APP Electrical’s new office on North Road, Cardiff, cutting the ribbon at the launch.
The local electricians have operated from Church Village since 2015. Their team of eight electricians is expanding its services to homeowners and businesses in Cardiff following a brand refresh.
As well as providing office space for the team, the North Road premises showcase smart home technologies installed by APP. Cardiff is now one of a handful of places in the UK where homeowners can try out the Rako Smart Lighting system.
APP said the move into permanent premises is driven by a desire to invest its future in Cardiff and to create career opportunities for local electricians and apprentices.
Speaking at the office launch, Colin Jackson CBE said: “I’ve been really fortunate to use APP to rewire my whole house and add a little bit of magic, really bring things up to date. You get that great customer service which is really important, you get the job done on time, and they’re also nice and tidy.”
He added: “Many people may not know that I started out as an electrician. I wasn’t very good! I stuck to running in the end, so now I just leave it to the pros!”
APP Electrical’s managing director Andrew Pearce said: “Opening this office gives us greater access to Cardiff, meaning we can deliver our electrical services to more homeowners and businesses locally.
The office features a leading Rako Smart Lighting Control System, where customers can experience what the product involves, and how it’s going to work in their life, their homes and their offices. We’re one of just a few places in the whole of the UK where you can try the system out in person – a fantastic way for homeowners and businesses in Cardiff to upgrade their lighting.”
APP said local homeowners and businesses are welcome at the North Road office to try the Rako system and to speak to electricians about projects including full and partial rewires, lighting, consumer units, switches and sockets.
