+44 (0) 333 3583 653 HOME ABOUT US SERVICES SECTORS PROJECTS ACCREDITATIONS NEWS CAREERS CONTACT ABOUT SMITH BROTHERS Smith Brothers Ltd is a large, turnkey electrical contractor with over 20 years’ experience. Since our inception in 1999, we’ve worked on a vast portfolio of projects throughout the UK and overseas, both as an ICP and EPC contractor on schemes up to 132kV. But how exactly have we progressed from a small, family-run business based in Elland, West Yorkshire, to being trusted by some of the country’s most well-known brands? We offer a range of services and can cater for everything from the delivery of a turnkey project – including the supply and commissioning of equipment and cabling installations from LV up to 132,000 volts – to ongoing preventative maintenance, ensuring your equipment continues to run smoothly. Having recently expanded into the Irish market, we have also begun work on various projects as an EPC (Engineering Procurement and Construction) provider – developing gas peaking and battery sites – and have a supply agreement in place with MTU (Rolls Royce) and BYD. Whether we’re working on a high or low voltage distribution system, a simple assignment or a complex project, we have varied and in-depth experience at our fingertips. Our team is made up of highly trained electrical, jointers, wiremen and fitters – not to mention back-office staff including estimators and project coordinators. The team’s multi-disciplined engineering skillset translates into an ability to complete every job safely, on time and to budget – however complex. While every project is different, the one similarity with each customer is they appoint us for our in-house expertise. We’ve worked hard to uphold a series of industry standards and have an enviable health and safety record. As a registered UK company holding BS-ISO 9001, quality is always a high priority. All work is carried out under a risk assessment and method statement as required by law, and as part of our commitment to health, safety, and the environment, we also hold ISO 45001 and BS EN ISO 14001:2004 certifications too. In terms of what’s next, the future is bright. Thanks to loyal staff who maintain their continued development, the recruitment of new talent into the company, and ongoing enquiries from clients new and old, we look sure to sustain our progressive growth trend.
