Hi newbie here! Been Working in building services Engineering for the last 6 years, and started up on my own doing alarms for the last 2 years, not as much experience as a lot of you guys on here, but suppose everyone learns something new everyday! My main goal is to keep building up my reputation and working towards getting fully certified, by not just doing things my way but listening to other peoples experiences and taking note on other ways to approach things and also help others where I can!.
