What Cable Installation Services does

Cable Installation Services (NW) Ltd is a Preston-headquartered UK infrastructure contractor delivering cable installation, civil engineering, electrical installation, renewable power, and decarbonisation infrastructure services to enterprise and public-sector clients. Its core technical scope spans LV and HV cable laying, terminations and jointing, substation and transformer installation (including 11kV 2.5MVA work at STFC Daresbury Labs), trenching, directional drilling, and containment, supported by an in-house fleet of cable winches, drum trailers, crimping tools, and testing equipment. The workforce holds stacked industry certifications (JIB ECS, CCNSG, SMSTS, SSSTS, 18th Edition IEE, IPAF, PASMA, EUSR pipe welding up to 355mm), and the firm carries NIC EIC, NICEIC Approved Contractor, SafeContractor, SSiP via SMAS, and Avetta prequalification.

The company generates revenue on a project-based professional services model, with no disclosed pricing or subscription components. Sales motion is enterprise field sales, engaging directly with DNOs, NHS trusts, local authorities, data centre operators, aerospace facilities, universities, and Tier-1 construction primes (Bouygues, Vinci, T-Clarke, NG Bailey, UK Power Networks). Notable contract wins include a £20m+ Energy Performance Contract at North Manchester General Hospital and Royal Oldham Hospital delivered with Breathe Energy, the Bolton Bus Depot EV charging infrastructure supporting 50 electric buses, and cable installation to level 63 of Owen Street Tower D. Five integrated service lines — cable installation, civil engineering, electrical installation, renewable power, and infrastructure/decarbonisation — are offered as a single-source proposition, with funding and grant application support provided through partner relationships for renewable projects.
