Meet The Team – Tom

I have been at GMS services Ltd for 11 months now working under my role as a water hygiene engineer.

My daily tasks include carrying out PPM (planned preventative maintenance) taking water temperature from individual outlets in different areas, calorifiers checks, water tank inspections as well as expansion vessel and TMV servicing.

I thoroughly enjoy my time working for GMS, going from place to place around the country and seeing things I hadn’t before is a great experience and one I don’t take for granted. Everybody in the company is friendly and willing to give help when asked for.

A favourite moment of mine was the Christmas do when everybody was together and having a laugh.

Outside of GMS I play guitar and bass self-taught for 8 years.  I enjoy going to watch my team Manchester United and enjoy going to new places with my girlfriend.

How Passing TMVs Drive Legionella and Biofilm Formation

by gmsadmin |

Passing TMVs create the exact conditions Legionella bacteria thrive in. The combined effects include: Once temperature control is lost, biofilm rapidly develops on internal pipe surfaces. Biofilm acts as: As biofilm thickens, it further restricts flow, worsening stagnation and creating a self-reinforcing cycle that accelerates colonisation. In many investigations of persistent Legionella positives, passing TMVs… Read more »
