Cambs PAT wins new contract on the back of ongoing customer success

Sep 22, 2026

Cambs PAT won a big new contract that requires its engineers to hold SC security clearance.

Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom, September 22, 2026 -- Cambs PAT, a Cambridgeshire-based electrical safety company that carries out portable appliance testing across over 1,000 sites a year, is happy to report that it has won a significant new contract which requires its engineers to hold SC (Security Check) clearance. The contract marks a major milestone for the business and is expected to lead to a substantial increase in revenue.

The UK government operates the SC clearance scheme as a security vetting process for work on sensitive sites. The accreditation means that Cambs PAT cannot reveal the locations covered by the contract.

Cambs PAT was founded as a sole trader in 2004 and became a limited company in the following year. It changed hands again when David and Daniel Yodaiken took director positions in March 2026. Since then, the PAT Testing company’s success has grown significantly, thanks to its focus on improving customer service. Its new contract builds on this progress.

Over recent months, the company has made significant changes to how it works. For example, its engineers now phone ahead of their arrival time and sometimes are able to begin work before business hours. Technicians clear up after the mess and leave properties tidy in the same condition that they found them.

Cambs PAT has a varied business model that provides electrical safety testing for schools, colleges, residential care homes, factories, offices, retail outlets, and private practices. Many customers like using its services because it doesn't tie them into contracts. Almost all of its work can be completed in a single visit, and the company provides updates to customers, letting them know when their compliance certificates are due for renewal.

Company director David Yodaiken said the following:

“Winning this contract is a reflection of the remarkable progress that our company has made over the last six months. Cambs PAT had a strong customer base after 20 years as a business before we took over, but we saw significant room for improvement, especially when it came to customer service. Now we're happy to see the fruits of this effort paying off with this new contract and we're looking to grow the business further.”

The uncomfortable truth about aquariums

The uncomfortable truth about aquariums

Young visitors watch the beluga whales at L'Oceanogràfic in Valencia, Spain. | Miguel Candela/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images This story appeared in Today, Explained, a daily newsletter that helps you understand the most compelling news and stories of the day. Subscribe here. Four beluga whales have died in a month at one of America’s top-rated aquariums — a tragic development and, arguably, a reason to revisit the ethics of zoos. (More on that in just a minute.) The latest cetacean casualty, a 26-year-old female named Osiris, died at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium yesterday. She follows 34-year-old Beethoven, a longtime resident of the aquarium, as well as 20-year-old Rain and 23-year-old Peekachu, who died in late August and early September.    Osiris, Rain and Peekachu were all part of the Marineland diaspora: a group of four dolphins and 30 beluga whales that rescuers have worked to relocate since the 2024 closure of a scandal-plagued theme park in Niagara Falls, Canada. This summer, the animals were successfully transferred to aquariums and marine parks in the US and Spain. That was a frankly incredible undertaking involving padded shipping containers, a police-escorted convoy and a chartered plane.  But in some regards, the international flight wasn’t even the hardest part of the whales’ journeys. Some of the animals have struggled to thrive in their new environments — even when those environments are state-of-the-art, like Shedd.  In a blog post announcing Osiris’s death, the aquarium noted that its rescued whales had been under 24-hour supervision and receiving intensive, specialized care. The aquarium is still investigating the cause of death for all four whales.  Go a little deeper View Link Believe me when I tell you that it gives me no pleasure to write the following paragraphs. I really love aquariums. In fact, as a kid, I grew up visiting the now-shuttered and much-maligned Marineland.  But incidents like these back-to-back deaths should prompt us all to ask ourselves who aquariums and zoos are actually for. And the answer, I regret to tell you, is frequently not “the animals” — though zoos and aquariums have, since the mid-20th century, marketed themselves as both tourist attractions and important players in wildlife education and conservation.   As my colleague Kenny Torrella writes, these institutions and their defenders argue they protect animals in three ways: first, by raising money for wildlife conservation projects; second, by helping to reintroduce vulnerable species back into the wild; and third, by inspiring visitors to take an interest in the environment. The Shedd Aquarium’s motto, for instance, is “For Love of Waterkind.”  It’s worth scrutinizing those purported virtues, however — even when prestigious and reputable institutions like Shedd are making them. On one hand, there is merit to the claim that zoos and aquariums fundraise for wildlife conservation: In 2022, the latest year for which data is available, one group of accredited zoos and aquariums spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars on habitat projects.  The evidence is thinner on the other points, though. It’s incredibly rare for aquariums and zoos to reintroduce endangered species back into the wild — that’s very difficult to do. And surveys of zoo and aquarium visitors show that merely seeing a wild animal in a tourist setting doesn’t generally galvanize people on matters of welfare or stewardship. Living in captivity in that tourist setting, however, can be stressful (or worse) for the animals themselves.  But what would a humane alternative look like? Even if zoos and aquariums stopped catching animals in the wild, that would still leave many thousands who are injured, orphaned, born in captivity, or otherwise accustomed to human care.  When it comes to whales, one nonprofit advocacy organization is already working on an alternative: a 110-acre coastal sanctuary for “retired” whales. That project, however, is still a long way from completion. And in the meantime, it’s up to consumers to decide whether the stated benefits of zoos and aquariums outweigh the potential harms to the animals they exhibit. One link for later ➨ Beware the trap of “moral perfection.” We should all endeavor to live lives that embody our values, sure. But if you never board a plane because you care about the climate, or you never take your kid to zoos because you read the arguments above, then you might end up with a smaller, less-lived life. And that’s no good, either.  Before you go… Did you know…that there have been “revolutionary” advancements in Alzheimer’s treatments in just the past five years?
