Ensuring Electrical Safety and Compliance Across Fulham FC’s Facilities

Fulham Football Club, one of London’s most historic football institutions, required a trusted electrical testing partner to ensure the safety and compliance of its facilities. Hawkesworth was appointed to provide Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) across all Fulham FC sites, including Craven Cottage, the training ground, and the retail returns department.

The Challenge

Fulham FC’s existing contractor was unable to attend when required, risking delays to essential safety checks. The Club needed a provider that could act quickly without disrupting day-to-day operations or scheduled training sessions, particularly during the club’s busy season.

Our Solution 

Hawkesworth’s engineers carried out a comprehensive PAT testing programme across all Fulham FC sites, working flexibly around operational schedules to minimise downtime. 

Each appliance was rigorously tested to ensure compliance with UK electrical safety standards. Any failed items were clearly documented within detailed electronic reports, allowing the Club’s facilities team to act swiftly.

By consolidating testing across all departments, Hawkesworth also provided a more cost-effective and efficient service, ensuring consistent standards and centralised reporting.

“This was my first experience working with Hawkesworth for PAT testing across all Fulham FC sites, and I was thoroughly impressed. The attending engineer demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and a meticulous approach throughout. He was also highly considerate of the busy nature of our sites. Based on this experience, I have no hesitation in recommending Hawkesworth and look forward to continuing to work with them as our preferred contractor.” – Health and Safety Manager, Fulham Football Club
