Jerry's Electrical

Jerry's Electrical has been specialising in electrical engineering contracting work since it was established in 1986. The company distinguishes itself by offering high quality work rather than the cheapest service and maintains long-term relationships between their clients and staff. A strong feature of the company is its workforce which is highly skilled and motivated to deliver the best quality service to its clients.

Productivity challenge
The challenge faced by Jerry's Electrical is largely based on management and sustaining rapid expansion. This is accompanied by issues regarding recruitment and retention of skilled workers in a tight labour market, managing people effectively and increased compliance costs. Three barriers to increased productivity have also been identified- poor quality of workmanship and materials; wastage; and the availability and rising costs of goods and services. However, the biggest threat to profitability and productivity is the growing competition from other sub-contractors who undercut their tenders by using inferior components and employing cheaper labour.
