If I remember right ,put the dial to off and press and hold the start pause button for approx 10 seconds

Re: EEE safe email.

Hi Graham
Originally I wasn’t going to get involved in this topic however seeing as you have referenced me and the WTA I think for transparency I need to ,with regards to your UKW questions that is not my bag

Robert has and continues to attempt to engage UKW/WTA but to date such advances have been relatively ignored when in reality it is clear that there is a much bigger picture to be taken into account.

Robert came and spoke to people at the Sept meeting approx a year ago
He presented the concept of EEEsafe and was presented with questions that he answered
you have then both attended WTA conferences at which we have seen each other,last year EESafe had a stand
You will recall we also met each other at the Defra Meeting in York where I did a presentation on how a washing machine can be different things to different people depending on their agenda,You,Ian ,Robert and myself all sat on the same table ,if I recall Robert spoke to me about PAS141 and it’s relevance /or not to our industry ,he and I also had a conversation about the need for a waste carriers licence.

A thought – Perhaps Robert should create an account on UKW and then he can have face to face (as it were ) contact with engineers .

Putting old disputes to one side may be it is time to ask why there are two Trade Associations with different structures, one which has ‘shareholders’ and one that doesn’t. Would that be a topic for forums? With questions like “Who are the Advisory Council” – “Do the members have any conflicts of interest etc.” G

That’s easy ,the advisory Commitee are Sean Delaney,John Mackenzie and Alex Read

The WTA Management team are
Lawrence Carey
Barrie Munro
Bryan Williams
Steven Withers
George Laugherne

Co opted for specific tasks
Ken Watt
Ian Dales
Tracey Rodger

With regards to shareholders The WTA has none ,I can only assume the other trade Association you refer to is DASA

In the interests of transparency perhaps you could reciprocate with the details of the Share holders that you mention

It’s not a Charity, it’s a Social Enterprise. I am sure that you, Ian and Lawrence already know that the Government has officially stated they are not funding the sector. So the only real options were to stand back and watch it die, or take action. This led to the idea of EEESafe which is very much how Gas Safe started. EEESafe doesn’t sell Spares or are held by Manufacturer Agreements. The concept is to be free from such restraints. By avoiding these potential pitfalls EEESafe does not need to “follow the money” as you put it as it does not have to satisfy shareholders.G

Sadly you are correct about funding ,however there may be more than one way to go about obtaining a better,simpler,clearer future for our industry.

A list of criteria set by the Steering Group (currently – Dixon Training, DASA & EEESafe – a place is still open to the WTA see below). Initially passing an assessment of Ohms Law and commitment to retention of repairable appliances in the local community by donating old appliances to the local centre. There are no further costs currently but if the Steering Group agree there needs to be, then that will come from them, and those employed in the sector whom they represent. WTA has a place waiting for them if they agree to NDA’s and work with the decisions of the Steering Group.
G

Once again thank you for the offer but at this time the space will have to remain empty .

With regards to DASA we are committed to working on some areas of mutual benefit for example I understand that Ian had spoken to Dave Coombes and they had agreed to attend a Wrap meeting together,but following subsequent events this did not happen however there has been further dialogue between Ian and someone else from with in DASA regarding this .

Re: cooker hood

I agree with Andy ,check your height,also is it venting ok ?
i.e are you getting any pull on the steam ?

Re: PAS 141 – EEESafe (Robert Alexander) & DASA

what would be good is if they would recognise repair as a form of reuse, If you read the criteria on the PAS 141 website the ones for our sector are actually quite straight forward and could be easily adapted to suit repair

[Lawrence]

Re: PAS 141 – EEESafe (Robert Alexander) & DASA

There was something not right about EEEsafe from the word go,my opinion was further cemented after seeing him present himself to us at the Sept 2012 and then becoming angry when he was questioned.
Then after overhearing him being derogatory towards the WTA at the Defra meeting in York that myself and Ian attended my mind was made up, the only thing that saddens me is that Graham Dixon is involved.

I see no problem with funds being used for this,I wonder if we could create some kind of simple distance learning that culminates in a tick test ,we may need to gather folks together regionally to do the test (perhaps Ian could adjudicate the assessments).

Re: Doing Contract Work

Hi Tim

Repairtech
Built their coverage around WTA members,being a new brand their work seems to be in clusters from what I understand ,for example I get about 1 job a month but I know of others that are seeing more than that and others such as yourself who are getting nothing.

Fagor Brandt
Filled the gaps in their coverage using WTA members

Amica
Use WTA members for their coverage

Statesman
Filled their gaps in coverage with WTA members

Caple
Filled their gaps using WTA members

I can also say that in the last week we have had 2 requests for coverage information,so there may be more to come ..

Sorry you are not seeing any work though .

PM me your coverage and skill sets though and I will check your info just in case

Re: NFF

One of the problems we have found is that the customers are being sold a dream scenario
“if it goes wrong then we will fix it ” just pay us your monthly payment and your problems are solved.

We know that is not the case,but the look on the customers face when they have it pointed out to them that they are not covered for a blockage on their policy is priceless at times .
I had a blocked standpipe recently and was berated by the customer as no one had told her she wasn’t covered for plumbing faults.
We now have a copy of the D&G exclusions laminated so the engineer can show the customer when they have conveniently left their policy at work .
Samsung have a one strike system i.e they will allow one FOC call for non mechanical and electrical faults .
but then you have Smeg who will not cover NFF’S ,but will roll over and do a FOC repair on a machine that is 3 years old.

Like Peter says you could write war and peace

Re: I Don’t Know Anyone!

I wondered about a WTA management team pic board, photo and profile etc , in the foyer ,also we wear our WTA badges on the Thurs .
The biggest problem is that we (the team ) are setting up on the Thursday evening whilst everyone else is having a drink etc.
