About the Business
Edward Cockayne started the business in 1970. His son, Stephen, joined in 1984 on a Youth Training Scheme (YTS) and attended Garretts Green Technical College, which was the leading college in the field at the time. Stephen completed a City Guilds in Heating Ventilation and an Ordinary National Certificate (ONC) in Heating and Air conditioning.
Cockayne were CORGI registered from a very early stage, when participation in the scheme was optional and standards in the industry generally were much lower than they should have been. Later, CORGI membership became compulsory and the task of trying to drive up standards began. Although it was unpopular at the time, as a business we embraced the change andin our opinion it has worked to a large degree. There will always be poor, unregistered and dangerous engineers, just don't get on the receiving end of one, and report them where possible!
