Spokemead Hits Half Century

Spokemead, one of London’s leading providers of electrical, repairs and maintenance solutions, and one of the principal contractors for the region’s largest Borough, is celebrating a remarkable 50-year partnership with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting), demonstrating an unwavering commitment to electrical safety and service excellence that provides significant advantages both for its clients and the company. 

This milestone certification confirms Kinovo plc subsidiary Spokemead’s position as a trusted electrical contractor, with the company consistently proving its technical capability to carry out electrical installation work in accordance with BS7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). This half-century of NICEIC accreditation provides customers with the assurance of consistent, professional service delivery.

Nicole Rooney, Commercial Director of Spokemead, highlights the importance of this 50-year partnership with NICEIC: “Retaining and gaining our accreditations is critical to our ability to carry out our core electrical services to housing providers in the London area. By being NICEIC accredited, we’re constantly monitored against the highest level of industry standards, which means our clients can trust in the quality and safety of every installation we complete.

“The benefits of NICEIC accreditation extend deeply into Spokemead’s operational capabilities. We have immediate access to expert support through the NICEIC technical helpline, ensuring rapid resolution of any regulatory or installation queries. Our engineers utilise the comprehensive NICEIC Pocket Guides app, which provides instant access to over 37 technical guides and calculators in the field. Professional development is enhanced through an extensive programme of webinars, events, and industry publications, while regular assessments by qualified electricians offer valuable guidance and ensure maintenance of high standards.

“The accreditation also provides practical advantages through the NICEIC Online Certification System, enabling efficient self-certification of work with local Building Control. This streamlined process, combined with preferential rates on specialist electrical industry insurance, delivers significant operational efficiencies whilst giving us the opportunity to influence future policy regulations through industry committee representation.

“For clients, NICEIC accreditation represents a comprehensive guarantee of quality and safety. As a third-party service, NICEIC provides unbiased and objective assessment of contractors, ensuring customers receive consistent and excellent workmanship that meets strict governmental legislation. Every electrical project Spokemead undertakes is backed by this independent verification, meaning clients gain peace of mind knowing their contractor is regularly assessed by qualified inspectors and maintains up-to-date knowledge of industry standards. The accreditation ensures all work meets current governmental legislation and safety standards, while NICEIC’s commitment to customer service excellence provides an additional layer of protection for clients.”

David Bullen, CEO of Kinovo Group adds: “I’d like to thank the team at Spokemead for all their hard work and commitment to this fantastic achievement. Our values-based culture will help us continue to raise living standards across the UK, supporting families and communities, keeping them safe.”

Nicole concludes: “Looking ahead, Spokemead stands ready to maintain our outstanding partnership with NICEIC, ensuring that every electrical installation project delivers the highest standards of safety and service excellence to our clients. This proven track record of fifty years demonstrates a commitment to quality that our clients can continue to rely on for generations to come.”
