An electrical contracting firm founded by a former Carlisle United player has appointed a new boss.
Joan PattinsonTerris Electrical was formed by ex-Blues full back Jim Terris in 1961 after he stopped playing.
He retired from the firm in 1992 and left partners Mike Zema and David Withrington to run it. Now Mr Zema has also decided to take a back seat and hand the reins to new managing director, Joan Pattinson.
The company carries out domestic electrical contracting and has also been involved with big industrial contracts including refurbishing the Guild Hall, Preston.
Mrs Pattinson, of Burgh by Sands, who joined Terris as an office assistant in 1981, said: “It’s a honour to take over the company.
“There won’t be any huge changes, we will continue to do what we always have.
“Trust and reliability are the most important things to us; we value every customer from the old lady who needs a new plug socket for her TV to big clients like the Ministry of Defence.”
Mr Terris, who also played for Dunfermline Athletic and Bristol City, returned to his native Scotland when he retired from the firm.
