My name is Paul Wilkins of Paul Wilkins Électricien and I am a qualified and registered electrician. Originally an alarm engineer, I qualified in the UK in 2010 and worked throughout the south east on domestic and commercial premises.

Having moved to France, I registered as an artisan electrician with the Chambre de Métiers in 2012 and my qualifications and experience are fully recognised in France.
