This year PASS Ltd turns 20! We started as a distributor of PAT testers; now, we boast an eclectic portfolio of thermal cameras, tools, and test equipment supported by calibration and training services.

In 2002 we secured a contract to sell Seaward’s PAT testers; today, we are a leading UK supplier of Seaward PAT testers and test equipment, as well as an approved Seaward service centre. To celebrate our 20th anniversary and long-lasting, profitable relationship, Seaward are offering our customers a FREE year’s subscription to their PATGuard 3 Software with every Apollo 500+ and Apollo 600+ PAT Tester (limited time only).

Twenty years ago, we started out as a distributor of PAT testers. Today we boast an eclectic portfolio of test equipment and tools, including multifunction testers, oscilloscopes, cable locators, flue gas analysers, pressure and flow instruments, thermal cameras, scales, microscopes, PPE, force/torque gauges, screwdrivers, wrenches, and calipers (to name just a few!). We have also expanded into training and calibration: PASS is an approved service centre for Seaward, Testo, Fluke, Crowcon, and Druck, and we offer City & Guilds and MCA accredited courses. However, none of this would have been possible without the good faith and exceptional quality of our brands, for which we have become a leading UK supplier. Partnering with pioneering, high-quality brands is integral to our success and a requisite we continue to abide by when considering new manufactures to work with. Below you will find some of our most popular test equipment manufacturers. These are brands that have stood the test of time and made us what we are today! Continue reading →
