Power within the hour

Colten Care Group, which has residential homes in Wiltshire, Dorset and Hampshire, has entered into a contract with power support company, Powercall UK. The business now can be assured that it will be able to fulfil its duty of care to residents by having a standby generator in situ and connected up within an hour thanks to Powercall UK's nationwide service.

"Powercall UK is the only company to provide such as service", said Colten Care's John Carter. "We initially trialled the service at our Kingfishers residential home in New Milton and within minutes of calling Powercall, a generator was on its way and was delivered within one hour." Each of Colten Care's homes is fitted with a connection point so that in the event of a power cut Powercall's nationwide service can despatch a generator from a local depot, with a target of one hour delivery and a guaranteed maximum of three hours.
