APP Electrical has opened a new office on North Road in Cardiff, marking the launch with a ribbon-cutting by Welsh hurdling legend Colin Jackson CBE.
The contractor has operated from Church Village since 2015. Its team of eight local electricians is now expanding its services to homeowners and businesses in Cardiff after a recent brand refresh. The North Road premises provide office space for the team and also display smart home technologies fitted by the company; Cardiff is now one of only a handful of UK locations where homeowners can try out the Rako Smart Lighting system.
According to APP Electrical, the move into permanent premises reflects the team's wish to invest its future in Cardiff and an ambition to create career opportunities for local electricians and apprentices over the coming years. Managing director Andrew Pearce said the office gives the business greater access to Cardiff so it can deliver electrical services to more homeowners and businesses locally, and added that the site features a Rako Smart Lighting Control System where customers can see how the product works in their homes and offices.
Jackson said he had used APP to rewire his whole house, praising the customer service and describing the job as completed on time and carried out tidily. He also noted that he started out as an electrician before concentrating on running.
