• The e5 Group: We consist of likeminded electricians and electrical engineers who regularly see the trade and the term ‘electricians’ devalued and on a downward spiral. We are duty bound via social media (twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook) to raise the profile of the trade and its good and bad points; we all learn from mistakes and so showing the bad will teach others indirectly. We support and assist each other for no personal gain other than it being the ethical thing to do! We wish to exchange and impart knowledge, research and technical information for the enhancement of skills and competence within the trade. We wish to bridge any gaps in knowledge or support which may have been missed or not covered by trade organisations. https://e5group.org.uk/
