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.

Why Hot Water Circulation Failures Remain the Hidden Weakness in Legionella Risk Assessments and Where Remote Monitoring Fits In

by gmsadmin |

Hot water circulation, or more accurately the absence of it, remains one of the most critical areas of focus for any competent Legionella risk assessor. Despite its importance, it continues to be overlooked in the majority of risk assessment documents produced across the industry. Alarmingly, this issue is not confined to inexperienced assessors; it appears… Read more »
