ABC Leisure Group operates 16 marinas across the UK and required a trusted partner to provide Electrical Equipment (PAT) Testing, Fire Fighting Equipment Servicing, and EICR (Fixed Wire) Testing across their fleet of canal boats and marina buildings. Hawkesworth was tasked with providing a comprehensive safety service to meet the varied needs of the leisure and marina sector.
The Challenge
ABC Leisure Group faced significant challenges in finding a single contractor capable of managing their annual PAT testing, fire safety servicing, and EICR testing requirements across such a wide geographical spread. With marinas located up and down the country, they needed a provider who could deliver consistent, reliable service at a competitive price, without compromising on quality or safety.
Our Solution
Hawkesworth became ABC Leisure’s single-service provider across all their marinas, delivering the following:
- Electrical Equipment (PAT) Testing: Conducted annually across all buildings and canal boats owned by ABC Leisure.
- Fire Fighting Equipment Servicing: Regular servicing of fire equipment across buildings and boats, ensuring compliance and safety.
- EICR (Fixed Wire) Testing: Annual inspections on marina bollards, a critical safety measure given the proximity of water. Also, 5-yearly EICR testing on marina buildings where applicable.
“We have been using Hawkesworth for the past 3 years. They are professional and efficient with good communication. They offer competitive rates to carry out the work we require from a single provider with the convenience of just one account manager.”
