About the Wigan Area

Wigan borough is one of the largest in Greater Manchester by area, stretching from Standish in the north to Golborne and Lowton in the south, and from Leigh and Atherton in the east to Billinge in the west. The economy includes manufacturing, distribution, retail, hospitality, and a growing service sector. Major employment sites include Robin Park, Wigan town centre, the Leigh Business Park, and the numerous industrial estates along the East Lancashire Road.

Who Needs PAT Testing in Wigan?

Any Wigan business or landlord using portable electrical appliances should arrange regular PAT testing. This is particularly important for:

  • Manufacturing and workshops: Wigan’s remaining manufacturing base relies on portable power tools, test equipment, and industrial appliances. These need annual testing at minimum, with hand-held tools checked quarterly in some environments.
  • Warehouses and distribution: the Golborne and East Lancs Road areas host major distribution centres. All portable equipment in these premises — scanners, chargers, heaters, tools — needs testing.
  • Pubs and bars: Wigan has a vibrant night-time economy. Portable catering equipment, cellar cooling fans, and entertainment systems all need PAT testing.
  • Landlords: the borough has a large rental sector, especially in Leigh and Atherton.

PAT Testing for Wigan’s Hospitality Sector

Wigan’s hospitality businesses — restaurants, cafes, pubs, bars, and hotels — rely on numerous portable electrical appliances. Commercial kitchens use mixers, blenders, food processors, and portable warming equipment. Front-of-house areas have coffee machines, till systems, and entertainment equipment. All of these should be PAT tested annually.
