Unaccredited Installers instead of JIB sparks.

Thanks to a few educated and altruistic sparks coupled with union membership it was beaten in high court.

Join Unite, keep your skills.

It was an attempt by the HVCA to introduce new working rules for electrical and mechanical workers in the building services industry. It would have seen skilled electricians being paid different rates depending on the part of the job they were doing. It would have seen wage decreases for most sparks, as a large proportion of the work on commercial and industrial jobs is containment!

The HVCA will shortly be changing their name from HVCA to the 'Building & Engineering Services Association'. BESA.

I apologise, it now appears they've dropped the 'A' from the name and are now simply the 'B&ES.......


B&ES :: HVCA becomes B&ES
