Black Pear Electrical

What Black Pear Electrical does

Black Pear Electrical is a UK-based commercial electrical contractor headquartered in Droitwich, Worcestershire, founded in 2013. The firm delivers a portfolio of services to commercial and public-sector clients across education, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, social housing, and facilities management — specifically Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), emergency lighting testing, EV charger installation, new installations, refurbishments, and LED lighting upgrades. It also operates a dedicated sub-brand, Black Pear EV, focused on electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

The business is built on a credentials-led delivery model. Black Pear holds NICEIC approved-contractor status, OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) authorisation for grant-funded chargepoint installation, and ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, collectively qualifying it for quality-, environmental-, and safety-gated tenders. Supply and channel partnerships — notably with Easee for EV hardware and Morson FM for facilities management contract flow — extend the firm's reach beyond its small in-house team. Founded and led by Managing Director Paul Sweeney, the firm operates with a core team of approximately six staff supplemented by subcontractor electricians.

Commercially, Black Pear generates revenue from project-based installation contracts, periodic inspection and testing work (EICR, emergency lighting), and EV chargepoint deployments funded by OZEV grants. Its customer mix includes recurring institutional accounts (such as King's School Worcester, an active relationship since 2018, and Clarke & Jay Chartered Surveyors since 2014) and larger housing and FM organisations (Platform Housing Group, The Pioneer Group, Morson FM). The go-to-market relies on accreditation-driven eligibility for public-sector frameworks, long-tenured client relationships, and active content marketing around EV grant programmes in the West Midlands.
