Bright Sparks At The RECI Awards

Cheevers Electrical has been acknowledged as one of Ireland’s leading domestic electrical contractors.

The firm were presented with the award at a glittering gala ceremony last week hosted by Duncan Stewart of RTE’s About the House and Eco Eye fame, at the Burlington Hotel Dublin.

Cheevers Electrical were chosen from almost 2,000 of RECI’s (Register of Electrical Contractors) members to receive the regional award.

The awards were devised to promote and encourage standards of excellence in electrical contracting.

The judging criteria were rigorous and based on random inspections carried out by RECI inspectors. These inspections were carried out on installations undertaken by contractors across the country throughout the past five years.

The judging panel consisted of high - profile industry and health and safety experts. The RECI Awards are supported by Hibernian Aviva and Arachas Corporate Brokers and represent the largest electrical safety event in Ireland.

According to Colm Cheevers, the award was a "real vote of confidence" in Cheevers Electrical in these challenging times.

"I am particularly delighted to have received this award.

"It is testament to our commitment to best practice and standards of excellence, as well as to the consistent hard work and dedication of all our staff in providing our clients with the highest quality products and services over many years," he said.

Cheevers Electrical has been in business for almost 20 years, and additionally has more than six years experience in the home-automation and custom-installation market. It specialises in providing a high quality, turn-key installation from design stage through to commissioning and ongoing customer support.
