Kings Power Solutions

What Kings Power Solutions does

Kings Power Solutions is a UK-based, privately-held electrical services company specialising in generator solutions and temporary site services, headquartered in Peterborough and operating nationwide since approximately 2009 under founder and Managing Director Matthew King. The company provides an end-to-end portfolio of generator-related services — design, manufacturing, installation, hire, servicing, maintenance, and upgrades — alongside a broader suite of temporary site services such as power distribution units, temporary lighting, commercial alarm systems, construction-site CCTV, energy monitoring, PAT testing, surge protection, and temporary mechanical services. Customers span construction and industrial sites, events and entertainment, commercial and residential buildings, facilities management, and commercial security, served through a consultative direct-sales model with free quotations and site surveys via phone, email, and website contact channels.

The company's offering combines hardware (diesel, gas, and portable generators sourced from Perkins, Cummins, FG Wilson, CAT, and Honda, plus in-house custom manufacturing) with cloud-based remote monitoring platforms that use sensors and telemetry for real-time performance tracking. Notable technical components include Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) panels for seamless power transfer, silent canopy acoustic enclosures for noise-sensitive deployments, AI-powered motion detection in CCTV offerings, and an energy monitoring platform that visualises sub-meter data. The company maintains industry accreditations including NICEIC Approved Contractor, CHAS Accredited, Construction Line Certified, Safe Contractor Approved, UKAS, and RISQ — certifications commonly required to tender on UK construction, infrastructure, and rail projects.

The business is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding rounds, acquisitions, parent company, or institutional investors. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales, usage-based equipment rental, recurring maintenance contracts, and professional services, with pricing determined per-quote based on project scope, equipment type, and duration. The company operates with approximately seven direct employees while delivering nationwide coverage, supplemented by field engineers and technicians. Growth has been funded organically over its fifteen-plus-year operating history, with recent product-line expansion into security, energy monitoring, and mechanical services signalling a strategic broadening beyond pure generator services.
