She will be taking over some of the accounts and office responsibilities as well of course as puppy training. Shan is learning the ropes currently but her first love is Emergency Nursing and family. You may find occasionally Shan is the one to answer the phone , and take bookings when not working on shift but Patrick of course remains available to all our customers when needed. We remain committed to always having professional electrical advise and also a balance of family time. By having Shan help out through the day it saves evenings and weekends for more family time.
