matthew.brough Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm not sure I would advise having anything to do with manufacturing as a long term career plan unless you want to emigrate to Africa. Hardly anything is built in the UK anymore. There's still a little bit of hardware design, but it's pretty much gone too. Becoming a software engineer is probably a better bet if you have the brains for it.

Even if ADT had 90% customer satisfaction, that remaining 10% is a lot of pissed off people. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/34616-hobbyist/page/4/#findComment-322946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan24 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Do ADT have engineers or do they get companies in to fit the stuff? I see ADT vans around but I've heard for smaller installs, they contract companies in to fit and sign off the system?
