Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) is currently on site at the University of Birmingham undertaking specialist electrical testing.
Established in 1825, the University of Birmingham was the first English civic or ‘red brick’ university to receive its own royal charter. It has the seventh-largest student population in the UK, with 23,155 undergraduate and 12,605 postgraduate students.
The university is home to the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, housing works by Van Gogh, Picasso and Monet; the Shakespeare Institute; the Cadbury Research Library, home to the Mingana Collection of Middle Eastern manuscripts; the Lapworth Museum of Geology; and the 100-metre Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower, which is a prominent landmark visible from many parts of the city. “Old Joe” remains the tallest freestanding clock tower in the world.
