Pearson Electrical

What Pearson Electrical does

Pearson Electrical (legal entity: Marine Automation and Power Group Ltd, trading as Pearson Marine) is a privately held UK specialist electrical engineering contractor headquartered in Hessle/Hull, East Yorkshire. Founded in the early 1990s and operating with 11–50 employees, the company delivers design, build, installation, maintenance, repair, inspection, and testing services across four primary verticals: marine and offshore, hazardous areas (ATEX/DSEAR, CompEx-certified), energy and renewables (including offshore wind), and industrial and power generation. A sister company, Humber Rewind Limited, provides 24/7 armature winding and motor repair with ATEX-certified panel-building capability, typically turning around motors up to 7.5 kW within 24 hours.

The company's underlying capability is specialised, certification-heavy electrical contracting rather than proprietary technology. Its technical differentiators are concentrated in three areas: the Humber Rewind motor-repair service equipped with a CEMB balancing machine and CNC lathe; exclusive UK installer rights for the SeaBis electrolysis protection system (an 8-year-guaranteed, 20-year-design-life stray-current detection device for vessels); and accredited-installer status for Solco Pyroelec electrical trace heating products. Core credentials include NICEIC Hazardous Area Contracting accreditation, CompEx certification, and ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certifications, which collectively gate entry into regulated marine, offshore, and explosive-atmosphere work.

Pearson Electrical operates a project-based professional services revenue model with quote-driven pricing, supplemented by product sale and hire of SeaBis units and 24/7 emergency callout services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via dedicated project managers, supported by a content/case-study website, direct client relationships with major contractors, and local brand-building through Hull FC Academy sponsorship. Customers are predominantly enterprise and span offshore wind (A2SEA), shipbuilding (Parkol Marine, Atlantic Marine), tourism (City Cruises York), commercial diving (Northern Divers), horticulture (Mill Nurseries), and HVAC (AHS), with international project delivery across the UK, continental Europe, Scandinavia, and Asia-Pacific.
