FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Fiona & John Campbell of Aerial Fix
Runners up in national contest
SUMMARY
Husband and wife team John and Fiona Campbell of Aerial Fix, Chandler's Ford have been recognised for their excellent work and voted runners-up in the first national Best TV Installer of the Year 2011 contest.
PRESS RELEASE
The competition was organised by the CAI (Confederation of Aerial Industries), ASTRA (owner and operator of the satellites that transmit programmes from broadcasters like Sky and Freesat) and the specialist What Satellite & Digital TV magazine. The judges declared that the standard of entry was extremely high.
The couple won the Super Installer certificate in April and What Satellite magazine devoted a whole column to their skills in its issue that month.
Then, along with the other winners of the monthly certificate their names were put into the hat for a chance to win the ultimate tribute and become the Best TV Installer of the Year in 2011.
For the organisers Tim Jenks, CAI Senior Executive said, “The CAI is pleased to have been involved in this award. We’ve been hugely impressed by the level of expertise the entrants have shown and their dedication to their work is so obviously appreciated, as is demonstrated by their nominators and those who voted for them.”
Aerial Fix install television and satellite aerials in Eastleigh, Southampton, Winchester and Romsey as well as the surrounding areas. They were nominated for the Super Installer certificate by customer Susan Evans, who was delighted with the work they did for her 90-year old mother, Mary. They went the extra mile to ensure that Mary understood the technology and telephoning Susan to keep her informed. They even returned the following day, free of charge after Mary had inadvertently pressed the wrong button. This is what Susan called 'real service'.
It was their technical skills and after sales care that earned Fiona and John their runners-up accolade.

NOTES TO EDITORS
Checkatrade helps combat the UK's rogue trader problem by continuously vetting and monitoring local traders such as builders, plumbers and electricians. The idea was born in 1998 after a tornado hit the small West Sussex town of Selsey. Traders poured in from as far away as Liverpool and Manchester. Unfortunately, some ripped off the inhabitants of the town. Local businessman, Kevin Byrne, realised there was nowhere to check out the traders’ credentials and the company that became Checkatrade was formed.
Since then, Checkatrade has grown to include over 6,300 genuine trade members, growing by an average 120 new members every month, and, via the Royal Mail, distributes 5.9 million directories a year into communities throughout Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Dorset and Berkshire, while the website includes traders from across the UK.
