What are some good ways to expand from residential to commercial work as a UK electrician?

I think one of the most important first steps here is to gain experience. Try to take on small commercial projects whenever possible. This will help you build your skills and confidence in a commercial setting, and it’ll give employers more confidence in hiring you.

Networking is also very important. Connect with other electricians, contractors, and industry professionals who work in the commercial sector. Joining trade associations and attending industry events can open up opportunities and provide valuable contacts, as well as opportunities to gain experience.

Getting additional certifications can make a big difference. Look for courses that focus on commercial electrical systems and regulations. This will not only enhance your skills but also make you more attractive to potential employers and clients.

Yes, training can be time-consuming, and you’re a busy person. However, many training schools offer remote training to make things faster and more convenient, as this website shows. And having the right certifications can open up a lot of opportunities.
