appy New Year! Hello there and welcome to a brand new year
and to the first issue of Electrical Engineering, and my what a delightful selection of features we have in store for you. May I say congratulations to all of you for the hard work and subsequent successes from last year. From everyone who offered their expertise on a electrical project, all the way across to the installers and engineers with the industry know- how, you are the true power of the sector. From championing sustainable change and offering solutions to a wide range of problems, from safety and best practise to energy efficient evolution, you are the ones who can and will make a positive change. 2019 will be a year of change, with new innovations and cutting edge technologies making their way to the mainstream. Data will undoubtedly be King and security of said data will become paramount. The high profile breaches and cyber hacks of 2018 have forced companies to invest in specialist protection, and GDPR should help the ethical collating of data. I continue to be impressed by the
sheer determination and work ethic of the people in this industry, despite the woes of the skills gap and the uncertainty of Brexit, you have continued to thrive. So, here’s to you! I look forward to seeing what comes next.

contractor Smith Brothers has salvaged a local not-for-profit project, after providing
charitable domestic supply work for the new Bradley Park community centre. The Elland-based contractor was approached by
Friends of Bradley Park to help with the activation of a brand-new community hub, after the relationship with the incumbent provider failed. Smith Brothers provided all labour, cable and equipment free of charge, whilst NPS Group also donated a meter housing. The new community centre will provide a much
needed home for local charities, sports teams and groups, including the Bradley Brownies and Guides. The building will also be used by various youth and
cable calculations and cable route design as well as resources and expertise to assemble the power supply. This involved the building of a new plinth to site the metering kiosk, as well as excavation and preparation works to lay 100 metres of 3c95 copper cable. Other electrical works included jointing, installing a
single-phase connection, removing the condemned supply and reconnecting a temporary supply to provide power and lighting whilst snagging works were being carried out. Emma Charlesworth, project manager at Smith Brothers explained; “It was a pleasure to be able to help Friends of Bradley Park with the new community centre. Smith Brothers is committed to supporting our local area, and when two of our employees mentioned the struggles Bradley Park had encountered, we were keen to offer our expertise.”
