Group Metropolitan has announced the launch of a new Compliance and Small Projects Department, expanding its critical services and strengthening Group Metropolitan’s ability to support new and existing clients with structured compliance programmes and proactive risk management to meet electrical safety obligations across complex and high-risk environments.
Bobby Connor, who began his career as an apprentice with Group Metropolitan and has progressed through the business, will lead the division to develop specialist electrical compliance services including Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), Residual Current Device (RCD) testing, Portable Appliance Testing (PAT), and Emergency Lighting Testing, re-enforced by Group Metropolitan’s reliability, transparency, and expert guidance. The department will support existing and potential clients who operate critical systems in locations such as data centres, financial institutions, healthcare and other high-risk environments.
“Our goal is to deliver structured compliance programmes that give clients complete visibility of their electrical assets, risks, and obligations.
Compliance shouldn’t be reactive or unclear. By combining our engineering expertise and strong digital reporting, we can help clients take control of their compliance, manage risk, and operate safe, resilient environments with confidence.”
- Bobby Connor, Compliance and Small Projects Divisional Director at Group Metropolitan.
The department will utilise Group Metropolitan’s online compliance management system, ‘Dutiful’, which provides documentation storage and management, centralised digital records of assets and test results, real-time visibility of compliance status with reporting, tracking and electrical asset registers supported by QR-code identification.
“Group Metropolitan are committed to ensuring that our client’s buildings and critical systems are maintained to the highest standard, making sure that they operate correctly when needed.”
- Graham Halls, Managing Director at Group Metropolitan.
By combining Group Metropolitan’s engineering expertise with their advanced digital reporting tools, the new department aims to simplify compliance management for end-clients, facilities managers, asset managers, and building operators.
Group Metropolitan will become a single key provider for all electrical compliance, delivered at scale while maintaining the highest standards of safety and engineering quality.
