The Mr Electric concept was originated in 1994, in Texas, USA, by the much admired franchise management company, the Dwyer Group. Mr Electric is a global organisation with franchises located in the USA, Canada, Portugal, the UK & Ireland 

Mr. Electric was first launched in the UK in 1997, when it was owned by a major utilities company. Since its management buyout in 2003 by C.C. Houlston (Franchising) Ltd, the company has seen rapid growth. The network and system sales have more than doubled and it has established Mr Electric as a quality brand working with key strategic partners such as Western Power, British Gas and B&Q

Mr. Electric is dedicated to your growth and prosperity. As a Mr. Electric Franchisee, you will enjoy the full backing of the U.K. Management Team. The Dwyer Group is the world premier services business franchiser. Specific support provided to a Mr. Electric Franchisee includes:

In addition, all Mr. Electric Franchisees will provide mutual support and idea generation. Mr. Electric Franchisees will learn from each other. The support and advice from other Franchisees of Dwyer Group Companies is a distinct organisational advantage. The combined efforts and experiences of Dwyer Group franchises across the country provide an incredible synergy. When one franchise discovers a new and innovative approach, it is disseminated to all franchises. Franchising is cooperation, not competition.

Paul Webb, who operates the Mr. Electric Bristol franchise, has integrated the franchise with the electrical contracting business that he has been running for the past few years.

Webb said: “Following a number of years as a sub contractor for Mr. Electric in the South West region and as a result of our good service we were asked about franchise opportunities in the area. The information on the proven business systems, support resources, impressive business structure and the trusted international brand were big reasons why we decided to buy the franchise.”

The franchise was purchased as an addition to the lighting business which operates in strategic markets throughout the UK. It will work in synergy with the Mr. Electric customer service system franchise. Webb explains: “The business development achieved through the project work of the lighting business will play a vital role in the development of the Mr. Electric business and vice versa.”

Webb continues: “As part of the large Mr. Electric network, we have the opportunity to share ideas in communication with other franchisees and the knowledgeable Home Office team. The future looks very bight for my business and I hope to expand the business, in order to achieve long term growth and establish Mr. Electric in the Bristol and the South West region as the prime electrical contracting business.”
