We have got to hand it to Maghera Developments, they have been engaged, committed, and focussed on the compliance requirements of Electrical Licence to Practise (PGN01/16) on behalf of their Clients. Since November 2016, through to the present time, the Castlewellan based enterprise has brought their extensive experience as a traditional and design and build contractor to the SparkSafe quality improvement initiative.

The positive behaviours and values of the Co. Down Contractor shine through in their audit preparation.  Auditors from SparkSafe have been particularly impressed with the excellent quality of evidence and proactiveness of the contractor’s contract management team.

Ensuring the planned employment of independently assessed licenced electrical workers prior to electrical work commencing on site is a key requirement of the Licence to Practise system. Maghera Developments have worked progressively and successfully towards meeting this client requirement.

“We’ve been impressed by the consistent effort of Maghera Development towards achieving compliance. They have made good use of the workforce composition report throughout the period to effectively manage the competency of the supply chain.” Charlotte Bamber (Systems & Compliance Director)
Originally operating as Maghera Construction from 1984, Maghera Developments Ltd was founded in 2000 by Eugene Walker.

“When we put our name on a tender it packs a powerful message – we will deliver on time, on budget and ahead of expectation.” Eugene Walker Managing Director
