Electrical test audits
We have appointed an auditor called Phoenix Compliancy Management (PCM) to check the electrical testing work that was recently carried out in our homes. PCM is sending letters to a group of randomly-selected Silva customers who have had their electrics tested this year. Recipients of this letter will be asked to call PCM to book an appointment for their electrical test audit. All the audits should have been done by Christmas.
