GW Power, a Hull-based building services engineering company, has completed the first year of a three-year electrical maintenance contract with Hull College, delivering a programme of infrastructure upgrades and energy efficiency improvements across the campus.
GW Power has worked with Hull College on a range of projects during the first year of the contract, supporting the college’s plans to improve sustainability and modernise its estate.
A key element of the work has been the installation of seven 22kW electric vehicle chargers, supporting the college’s move towards lower-emission transport.
In addition to the EV charging infrastructure, GW Power has carried out routine electrical maintenance, produced electrical condition reports, completed compliance testing, and delivered LED lighting upgrades across nine buildings. These include an eight-floor tower block within the college estate.
On-site engineers and estate upgrades
Two full-time GW Power engineers are based on site, providing a combined minimum of 40 hours per week dedicated to the college’s electrical infrastructure.
Both engineers began their careers as apprentices at Hull College, reflecting a long-standing relationship between the organisations. One of the engineers has recently completed Level 3 electrical qualifications.
Daniel Haley, Managing Director of GW Power, comments, “Reaching the one-year mark on this contract is something we’re incredibly proud of.
“Our on-site team has worked tirelessly to keep the college’s facilities safe, efficient, and compliant, whilst also delivering tangible improvements such as the EV chargers and LED upgrades.
“What makes this contract even more special is that both of our engineers started their careers at Hull College – as did I!”
Matthew Blowman, Director of Facilities and Infrastructure at Hull College, adds, “GW Power has become an integral part of our operations over the past year.
“The company’s reliability, professionalism, and technical expertise has helped us maintain high standards across a complex estate.
“The improvements made so far have already had a positive impact on our energy efficiency, sustainability goals, and enhancing the learner experience.”
GW Power was founded in 2014 and provides electrical, mechanical, and renewable energy services to clients across the UK.
The company employs 43 staff and continues to recruit apprentices and qualified engineers to support ongoing projects.
