Haringey’s business mix is as varied as its housing — the independent shops and cafés of Crouch End and Muswell Hill, Wood Green’s retail, and Tottenham’s light-industrial and workshop premises. All rely on portable equipment that must be kept safe, and PAT testing is how it’s evidenced. GFL Electrical carry out PAT testing across the borough.
