Company History
Bison Electrical Services Ltd was founded in November 2015 by lifelong friends, Richard Gapper and Stuart Philp. It was initially founded with the intent to service the industrial sector with reliable, comprehensive, competent electrical installation services. In 2016 when Bison underwent an extensive audit by the NICEIC. They passed with flying colours, resulting in them being able to announce that they were a NICEIC APPROVED Contractor.
In 2017 they took the step to diversify into the domestic sector and relocated the business to Lowestoft. Lowestoft was the town where Richard and Stuart were brought up, however, establishing themselves in a competitive market, where no one knew the company, or the brand was no mean feat. Later that year, they took on their first employee and have continued to build the company from there. The accreditation gave their new and existing clients confidence in their ability and enabled them to grow further. In 2018 they moved from there registered address to new offices that enabled the company to grow. That was a major stepping stone for the company that ultimately assisted in the companies growth, and resulted in 9 jobs being created. The company now has a good reputation in both the domestic, commercial and industrial sectors, accreditations including NICEIC (2016), Gate Safe (2019), OLEV (2018) and Safe Contractor (2020).
