Raphael Magnus IEng MIET, LCGI, AQE, NCRQ, MD is the hands-on Managing Director, and owner-operator of a Huntingdon based specialist electrical inspection and testing business. Raphael’s mission and ethos are neatly summed up in his chosen business brand, Safe-Electric. The Safe- Electric team, provide EICR, PAT testing, Thermography and Emergency Lighting & Fire Alarm inspection and testing services to the residential and business community throughout the UK.

Leaning on experience alone is not the Safe-Electric way, although forty-Six years in the business have certainly provided Raphael with a rich vein of experience to tap into when it comes to troubleshooting and sorting electrical problems on behalf of Clients. Distinguishing Safe-Electric’s proposition based on quality, safety and standards to customers is further achieved with the endorsement of independent third party accreditations.

Customer confidence in good service and technical ability is a priority for Safe-Electric. With that in mind Raphael, chose to add the SparkSafe Assessed Qualified Electrician (AQE) personal accreditation to the Safe-Electric brand.

Commenting on his decision to register with SparkSafe for the AQE licence Raphael said,

“The SparkSafe AQE Licence provides my customers with independent means to verifying my identity, my industry approved qualifications and uniquely my capabilities to safely undertake electrical & Inspection work to the required British Standards on their behalf.”

SparkSafe’s AQE licence is available to electrical workers who typically have completed an industry approved electrical installation apprenticeship and who are up to date with accredited knowledge of the current BS7671 Wiring Requirements. Recent evidence of onsite work being technically assessed by a UKAS approved provider also features in the criterion for the higher standard SparkSafe licence.
