DARREN

  • A little more about Darren…
    “As the Managing Director of O’Briens Electrical Ltd, I take care of the day to day running of the business. I will often be in the office, or I might be working with engineers and carrying out site visits to clients’ homes and businesses. I love working with such a brilliant team, many of whom are also part of the O’Brien family! We all work together to make sure we provide clear communication and are highly professional, so our clients have a good experience with us. I think this is one of the reasons why so many of our clients have been using us for years. I make every effort to treat people as I would want to be treated, and nothing is too much trouble.
  • I happened upon the industry completely by accident – I originally intended to take a plumbing course, but then it was full. I then decided to go for plastering instead, but guess what – that was full as well! So I enrolled on the electrical installation course, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve never looked back. I am now qualified in many different areas, including electrical installation, inspection and testing, wiring and PAT testing. This means we can offer our clients any services they require, and someone who is fully qualified and experienced will be able to help.
  • When I’m not running the business, I enjoy spending time with my family, I like to travel, and I love cooking up a storm in the kitchen, although from time to time I may set the smoke alarms off!”
  • Darren’s industry fact: “The electricity from a single bolt of lightning has the ability to power 200,000 average-sized homes.”

  • A little more about Blain…
    “As an apprentice electrician, I help to look after three estates in Brixton, Peckham and Kennington, making sure all their electrical maintenance is taken care of. I learn and experience something new every day – it’s a great opportunity for me.
  • On top of working for O’Briens, I attend college one day a week to achieve my full qualifications. I am currently Level 2 qualified, and I am studying for my Level 3 this year.
  • I am a good communicator and listener, which I believe are very important skills in my job. I’m always punctual and enjoy meeting new people, so this is a great line of work for me. Outside of work, I enjoy watching sports, especially football and boxing.”
  • Blain’s industry fact: “Master electricians will often have to train for longer than doctors!”
