  • Switches and GPOs don’t have to be so bland
    Not long after I first arrived here in Australia, I met an architect who told me that he didn’t want light switches to be visible in homes. When I asked him why, he simply said: “Because they’re ugly.” I suspect such an attitude is not uncommon amongst many architects, and even some home owners, given the universal use of basic white switch plates and GPOs in this country.
  • Make the most of the opportunities
    My message to electrical contractors is to make the most of the opportunities that present themselves. There’s never been a better time to be aggressive. There’s no easier sell than an upsell. That’s a lesson we all need to learn and apply in our businesses.
