Hello 

My name is Mark and I have an electrical contracting business that  specialising in electrical safety. I was very lucky to have a  traditional apprenticeship with several very skilled engineers. They had  the time to teach me properly over the course of 4 years apprenticeship folowed  another 2 on my own running jobs to gain approved status. I would very much like to pass this on. I  have taken on an ex army lad who couldnt get  work due to having PTSD -  Post traumatic stress disorder. He suffers from panic attacks and  depression , something I had also experienced in the past , so we make  time for doctors and councillors appointments and time to learn on the  job. Hes doing great hes 6 months in and starts college in the new year,  once a week on a friday and can be qualified within 2 years. We have  secured the no.1 electrical contractor  spot on freeindex through a  review system and have been voted one of the top 3 businesses in  Edinburgh in our category. We genuinely care bout what we do and manners  are important to both of us, something forgotten about today!Once Liam  is on his way to being qualified I am looking to take on more ex service  persons, of the streets to help them back into the community. 

Having been ripped of with a van this year we lost months at work with multiple breakdowns , and an electrical wholesaler we  are in need a cash boost to secure a  reliable vehicle, training and some  equipment along with some working capital to go to the next level, and  are looking for an investment/loan  £15000.
