BORDEN ELECTRICS
COMPANY PROFILE
Borden Electrics is owned by Dave Borden,
who established the business in August 1987
thanks to a £1,000 loan from his
grandmother, Esther
(yes, he has paid her back).
Dave's mum Benita took charge of
answering the phones in those early days
while Dave built his outstanding reputation as
an electrician based on
three guiding principles: free estimates,
fair prices and prompt attention.
Those principles are still applied today,
22 years later.
Dave's first job as owner of his new business
was rewiring a house in Greystones.
Nowadays, Borden's is constantly rewiring
and partially rewiring homes across Sheffield.
Our firm has a team of administration staff
and highly qualified, apprentice-served electricians.
Most have been with Borden's since leaving school,
and the average length of service is 13 years.
Our NICEIC accreditation is your guarantee that
we are electrical contractors who work to the
highest standards.
