Ingredients:

537 Openreach communication providers

1 technical procurement team

1 Gore rain tower test

A small bunch of Scottish engineers 

A large bunch of heavy cable engineers 

17,000 GORE-TEX Hi-Vis salopettes and jackets, guaranteed 'fit for purpose' – lightweight, breathable and always the waterproof variety

Lashings of British rain, snow, wind and cold – variable, according to seasonal availability

Method:

• Take the small bunch of wet and disgruntled Scottish engineers.
• Add a technical procurement team 
• Introduce GORE-TEX trousers and jackets, insert Scottish Engineers into the high quality garment system, ensuring a sealed fit with all fastenings secured.
• Test in the Gore rain tower, then expose to outdoor elements for a 12-hour shift, with added stress. 
• Once your testing batch has proved successful, repeat, now with a large bunch of heavy cable engineers.  
• Roll out
