With us on the visit was the winner of the Online Electrician of Year Awards 2012 James Dewane from Kent Electrics.<br /> The first thing you realise on the approach to the Megger factory is how dominating it is on the landscape, we've all seen and heard lots about Megger and it is a huge name within the electrical industry and held in high esteem by practically every electrician. The approach to the Megger factory is as equally impressive with its own slip road from the motorway – so it really does feel like you are arriving in true style.<br /> Although grand and very impressive, Megger has a very personal feel to it, this makes a huge change to the usual array of anonymous companies. In fact the owner of Megger is a family man through and through and this is reflected in the family feel at Megger – their employees are a mix of ages with some employees having worked at the company in excess of 45 years. The family environment goes further than just a feeling though – weekend working at Megger simply does not exist in the culture!<br /> Upon touring the factory it is clear to see just how passionate Megger are about their products and processes – of which they are justifiably very proud. Everything produced at Megger from their components to printing are all made and manufactured in the UK. The way work is done at Megger is different to what is found elsewhere – and only upon visiting the factory does one fully realise how they have built up their amazing reputation which electricians all over the world have come to rely upon.<br /> For example, all their components are tested at different stages of production so by the time the product reaches the end of the production line it will work – rather than only testing at the end of production where it would be far more difficult to source the problem.<br /> Thought is given to all employees working at Megger – they are given regular job rotation within their working environment – they are not expected to do the same job role throughout their shift – this not only stops workplace boredom but also prevents work place injuries such as repetitive strain injuries.<br /> The machinery at Megger is ground breaking with new technologies being developed all the time in their own dedicated laboratory area. All the machinery is developed for the UK and adapted for use in different countries and with Megger having offices in almost every country this is no mean feat. Whilst we were there we saw a robot building up a product by selecting all the different components and assembling the product – it was fascinating to watch this and realise just how far technology is advancing.<br /> So how has Megger become so successful?<br /> Well aside from their products, Megger is also astute in their business – ensuring that they continue to provide electricians with cutting edge products and become recognised not just in the UK but also internationally. As mentioned Megger has offices in almost every country around the world – this came about partly as the result of the purchase of Seba KMT.<br /> What else makes Megger stand out?<br /> The clinical environment found at Megger makes this factory tour an experience like no other. We had to wear a white coat whilst touring the factory – everywhere from the production line to the development areas the rules are the same.<br /> The other thing we all liked about Megger was the staff canteen – which really was a canteen not a room where you bring your own sandwiches! This canteen was full of life and serves entirely home made meals both hot and cold as well as an enormous salad cart – it was difficult to make a choice but in the end we opted for a healthy pasta meal.<br /> Following our tour of the huge Megger factory, we looked out to spectacular views of France and the famous white cliffs of Dover and it was very tempting to jump onto the next ferry to pay a visit to our nearest neighbours! </p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-categories field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field--entity-reference-target-type-taxonomy-term clearfix"> <div class="field__label">News Categories</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news-category/megger" hreflang="en">Megger</a></div> </div> </div> Sun, 23 Jun 2013 23:00:00 +0000 gazza 7976 at https://www.mylocalelectrician.uk
