Part of the Meet Marple project.
JB Electrical: Meet Jon, the electrician keeping Marple’s lighting and power on and safe.
Name of business:
JB Electrical
Where did the name come from?
Easy one this, it’s my initials & I cover all electrical needs.
What do you offer?
I cover all aspects of lighting and power – rewiring, outdoor projects, domestic and commercial too. Anything and everything electrical!
How many people are in your team?
For years it’s just been myself as a one-man-band, but as the company has grown I’ve recently taken on an apprentice, and started working with another electrician too.
How long have you been open?
As an independent business, it’s been 4 years out by myself – but I have over 20 years experience as an electrician now.
Are you from Marple?
I’m originally from Coventry, but we moved to Marple from Edgeley around 6 years ago as my wife is from the area.
What do you like about having your business in Marple/living in Marple?
Everything! Business-wise, I like that people in Marple choose to support local businesses and use independent tradesmen, that counts for a lot. The town itself has everything in it too, plenty of places to go as well as being next to the countryside, and super close to Manchester and Stockport. It’s perfect.
Is there anything exciting going on at the moment?
We’re just reminding people to keep their houses safe – if you need anything checking, give me a shout. Always a good idea before the Halloween and Christmas decorations get plugged in!
