Group Metropolitan, a leading contractor, delivering turnkey solutions in electrical, mechanical and fit out, has launched a new Compliance and Small Projects Department.
The division within the company expands its critical services and strengthens 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 in the role of Compliance and Small Projects Divisional Director 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.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.
Connor said: “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.”
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.
By combining Group Metropolitan’s engineering expertise with its advanced digital reporting tools, the new department aims to simplify compliance management for end-clients, facilities managers, asset managers, and building operators.
