 Cablofil Cable Tray Installation Deemed a Showpiece
It’s not often that contractors hire photographers so they can hang
pictures of installations on their walls, but that’s exactly what Brian
Keefe of Response Electrical Contracting did. Keefe is general manager
for the Medford, Massachusetts-based firm.
“It was a showpiece,” Keefe said. He was referring to an installation
using Cablofil cable tray at Harvard Net, an internet-host company with
headquarters in Boston. “I’ve been in this business almost 30 years,
and I don’t get impressed too easily, but this project was impressive,”
Keefe said.
