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.

In a bid to stimulate business investment, promote economic growth, and aid with recovery in the wake of COVID-19, the UK government has introduced a super-deduction tax relief scheme, amongst other capital allowances.

It will enable businesses to claim 130% first-year relief on qualifying plant and machinery investments between the 1st April 2021 and the 31st March 2023.
