About Us

Over 30 years service to the electrical engineering industry

Founded in 1992 by our Managing Director, Don Gavin, Gavin Electrical Engineering has grown from a small family business into a leading name in the UK’s electrical engineering sector. Still family-run to this day, we combine the personal touch and integrity of a local business with the resources, expertise, and innovation needed to deliver on projects of any scale, anywhere in the country.

What Sets Us Apart?

Experience and Expertise:

With over three decades of hands-on experience, our team has developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by clients in industrial, commercial, and maritime environments. Our electricians are not just highly qualified—they are long-term, directly employed members of our team, many of whom have been with us for years. This continuity means our clients benefit from a wealth of knowledge, consistent quality, and a team that truly cares about the outcome of every project.

Comprehensive Service, Every Step of the Way:

We offer a complete, end-to-end service, supporting our clients from the earliest stages of design and development, through to installation, commissioning, and ongoing support. Our approach is collaborative and transparent: we listen carefully to your needs, offer honest advice, and work closely with you to deliver solutions that are practical, innovative, and cost-effective.

Whether we’re working on a small local installation or a complex, multi-site project, we go above and beyond to ensure every detail is right. Our reputation for reliability, flexibility, and problem-solving means clients return to us time and again—and recommend us to others.
