NICEIC approved contractor's logo - 05 May 2010
Contractors are being taken to court for using the NICEIC logo illegally trying to fool the public into thinking they are approved contractors, please ask to see some documentation when appointing an electrician:
“NICEIC has seen a rapid rise in the numbers of bogus tradesmen attempting to use the logo to their economic advantage. In response, NICEIC has made it clear that it will do all it can to prevent this happening in order to protect consumers and support contractors who undergo voluntarily assessment and notify their work where appropriate”.
AGW would just like the opportunity to show that we are proud to be associated with the NICEIC and this link is us on their website to show that we are registered and approved.
