Several contractors have phoned us recently reporting calls from an unidentified group carrying out a phone survey among electrical contractors.
Nobody appears to have been able to establish the identity of this alleged
market research group, nor has it been possible to establish the body for whom the survey is being conducted.
In the circumstances most of those who contacted us said that they were not prepared to engage in any survey unless they were aware of it’s purpose, and of the identity of the individual or company who commissioned the work.
We would concur with this stance and would also confirm to our members that this survey is not being carried on behalf of ECSSA.
There is a survey being carried out on the internet by the National Electrical
Contractors of Ireland (NECI), seeking to establish relevant statistics within the industry and NECI are anxious to stress that completing and returning this survey does not imply that a person taking part automatically wishes to join NECI. The information being gathered will be freely available to anybody within the industry
who wishes to avail of it. This survey can be found at http://www.neci.ie.
