About us

An electrical contractor you can trust? Job done

Not many commercial electrical contractors can say they’ve been successfully trading for 75 years. Or that they have a broad range of clients all across the North West. We can. And the reasons for our success lie in the way we work.

We stick to our values of quality, reliability and continuity. We welcome technological change but never lose sight of the traditional craft in what we do. Quite simply, it’s how we exceed our customers’ expectations. And why you can always rely on us for a job well done.

Who we work with

We have a long list of satisfied clients from across the region, ranging from NHS Trusts to property developers to SMEs to private individuals. We’ve developed long-term relationships with many of them too, based on their appreciation of reliability and quality. And the fact they know exactly what they can expect from us.
