Robin Wood, one of our team of Service Technicians, plays a vital role in keeping our cable inventory in industry-leading condition.
Having manufactured cables and looms for close to fifty years, Robin is a self-certified Cable Wizard.
Thanks to a trade secret of leaving your mark, and our own barcode and RFID identifiers, Robin notes that he can even recognise and repair cables he originally built himself. “I can sometimes trace it back to which week of a particular year that I had put it [the cable] together. It is nice to see how long my work can last!”
With TSL’s cable stock in excess of 60,000 items and in a fast-paced industry like ours, it is not uncommon for equipment to be damaged onsite or returned needing a little bit of TLC.
Last year we had nearly 500 cables needing repair. Robin’s diligence and attention to detail has taken this back down to single figures.
From 19-pin Socapex repairs, to your standard UK household 13A plug, Robin’s work ensures that everything we send to site is safe and sustainable – having cables which can be repaired by skilled technicians reduces waste and promotes regular re-use.
At TSL, we pride ourselves on keeping our equipment in perfect working order through regular PAT testing, immediate post-repair inspections, cleanliness, and a robust testing regime.
