What MJ Electrical Services does

MJ Electrical Services Limited is a UK private electrical and mechanical building services contractor founded in 2004, headquartered in Burscough, Lancashire with a regional office in Watford, Hertfordshire. The company delivers design and installation services across electrical systems, mechanical systems (VRF/split air conditioning, hot and cold water, ventilation, LPHW, BMS integration), and combined M&E design-and-build for clients in retail, healthcare, education, public sector, hospitality, heritage and commercial settings. Core technical tooling is Revit MEP for 3D BIM modelling on projects such as the Garsington Opera Arts Hub, supplemented by AutoCAD drawing capability at the Watford office, with project execution combining in-house teams and specialist sub-contractors under a fully coordinated delivery model.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through project-based, competitively tendered contracts rather than recurring fees, with services delivered nationwide from the two offices. The go-to-market is sales-led and procurement-driven: the company qualifies for frameworks via an extensive accreditation stack (NICEIC Approved Contractor, ECA, JIB, CHAS Principal Contractor, Constructionline Gold, Alcumus SafeContractor, BESA, Leviton Authorized Network Integrator, ISO 9001, IASME Cyber Essentials, Altius). Customer relationships are long-tenured, most visibly a 20+ year relationship with John Lewis Partnership evidenced by the £21M Peterborough store transformation alongside multiple smaller schemes, plus engagements with Waitrose, Harrods, YOTEL Glasgow, Mamma Mia at The O2, NHS trusts (Darent Valley Hospital), DWP, Garsington Opera and Theatre Royal Brighton.

The company is privately held with no external institutional investment disclosed. In June 2026 founder Michael Jones transitioned from Managing Director to Non-Executive Director, with Chris Howells (previously Director and Operations Manager) assuming the MD role. The business has reported significant growth across both Electrical and Mechanical divisions in 2025, supported by a notable hiring cohort (Greg Knight, Dan Hopkins, Mark Newell, John Benstead, Darren Scholes) and the December 2025 attainment of ISO 9001 certification.
