The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) has launched a five-episode podcast to mark 25 years since the rollout of its lifeguarding service – featuring conversations with lifeguards, those who have been rescued and exploring how they have been making beaches safer since 2001.

Timothy Webster

I’m a qualified Marine Electrician, covering the South East, from Brighton to Portsmouth, and including London. 

I work on boat electrics and boat electronics, from fault-finding, installations and networks, to electrical surveys, support and advice. I make sure to look at electrical systems as a whole, rather than isolated issues. This helps keep you and your vessel safe. I work to ISO 13297 and EN 60092-507 standards, among others.
