Sounds like your company would do better from having a trained and PAT
certified on site chap (who could do other duties too).


Flavour of the month/year is to outsource everything

we did that with our PAT tester.


(IT/test equipment
calibration/HR/building maintenance/cleaning/catering/security) except
the core business. It makes things a lot easier when the next lot of
redundancies come around.

but teh big advantage is you can employ more admin staff to look after things they know nothing about, then when things go wrong they can balme the company.
Then get to spend even more money on it.
