Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) has completed a specialist electrical services project at Sunderland A.F.C..
Formed in 1879, Sunderland Association Football Club plays in the Championship, the second tier of English football. The club has won six top-flight titles in the First Division and has finished runners-up five times. In 1997, Sunderland left Roker Park and moved to the Stadium of Light, a 42,000-seat arena that, at the time, was the largest stadium built in England after the Second World War. The capacity was later increased to 49,000.
In this contract, engineers from PTSG Electrical Services Ltd completed a test and inspection of the lightning protection system in place at the football ground, in line with British standards. If any areas are found to need maintenance in such inspections, PTSG’s engineers are fully trained and experienced to carry out the necessary work to ensure the system remains fully operational.
PTSG is believed to be the oldest trading provider of lightning protection services in the UK and possibly Europe, due to JW Gray, one of its constituent companies, being established in 1835.
