Tony was nominated for the award by Navigator Productions Ltd, with whom he presents training videos for NICEIC.
Production Director, Terry Brown describes him as "larger than life, but short in stature" and there is little doubt that Tony has made a significant contribution to electrical excellence over the course of his long and distinguished career.
Tony Cable began his career by learning his trade as an apprentice and worked as an electrical contractor for many years before becoming a college lecturer and finally taking the position of senior events and marketing engineer for NICEIC, as well as his appearances on technical videos produced by Navigator Productions owners of learninglounge.com.
Terry Brown also describes Tony in the following words:
"Tony's great skill is communication and the way he can impart technical knowledge without over-elaborating or seeming to talk down to people. This is well received by all those who have the pleasure of dealing with him."
"Recently, at the Sparks exhibition (a show for electrical apprentices), you could of heard a pin drop when Tony spoke to a hall of about 100 students about losing 5 colleagues over the years due to not adopting safe isolation procedures. It is this dedication to both safety and quality of workmanship, and also his enthusiasm after a lifetime of working in the industry, that should earn him the Award of Outstanding Contribution to Electrical Excellence." |
