Pat Man operates from Rotherham and offers a PAT testing service throughout South Yorkshire currently carrying out around 500,000 tests a year. In January 2014, Rotherham marquee company Gala Tent bought Pat Man UK’s client base and assets and set up Pat Man Company to provide portable appliance testing for businesses.

Tom Madden (pictured), who has run the company for the last five years, says: “I have always dealt with PASS http://www.pass.co.uk in the past for all my needs, and with the new partnership with Gala Tent, we decided to continue in the same vein.

“I have done all my training courses with PASS and purchased all my items there, and of course it has a great reputation. I’d rather spend a little more on good quality PAT testers than risk the safety of my clients.”
