Client can ask entirely whom they want to do the work, but if they ask the very guy (who is not a registered electrician) and who the client knows is in employ of someone who was their previous contractor, and more to the point, the guy whom they have asked is still in the employ of said registered company, accepts the work and executes it without any discussion what’s so ever with the company who still give him a lot of work and introduced him to said client in the first place, then I would say that there is a very heavy morally question there and could even be construed as concealment.A current client is someone you are currently carrying out work for and have not yet invoiced and been paid.
Or someone who has retained you under a contract of some sort.
It's not someone you are currently quoting for (unless the above applies) as that prospective client may have asked for quotes from others.
When a new potential customer / client rings you for a quote do you ask them if they've had work done by anyone else in the last 6 years and if so inform them you can't quote because they are the last company's Client and they aren't allowed to use any one else for their work?
