The Engineer
Chris Parkin
I'm a lifelong Woolacombe resident who completed the City & Guilds 2377 PAT Testing qualification in early 2019, initially to look after three holiday homes I help maintain.
I also hold an HND in Sound Engineering & Multimedia Integration, an electronics-based diploma that gives me a strong technical foundation for inspection and testing work.
