Proud of our history and heritage
F & C Electric was formed in 1962 by Fred Grimsley and Cyril Chew after the demise of Surplice's Electrical Contractors.
The company was originally set up as a partnership, becoming a limited company in 1963.
Work taken over from Surplice's included the electrical floodlighting of the Royal Windsor Horse Show and past customers have also included The White Hart Hotel, St Brigiddine Convent School, Oxley's Printers, Corbys of Windsor, Grawaters Veriflex. Planned Maintenance Engineering and many more including numerous local builders. Berkshire County Council soon followed and there was hardly a school in Windsor and Maidenhead that F & C Electric Ltd hadn't worked in.
Fred Grimsley retired in 1970 and Cyril became sole owner inviting his three sons Mike, Chris and Peter to work within the company. Chris and Peter took over the business in 1989 after Cyril's retirement.
Sadly around that time the Berkshire County Council Maintenance and Surveyance Departments were dissolved and our business relationship of more than thirty years came to an end. In that time we had carried out some major installation works including Slough and Windsor Police Stations, Windsor Boys School, Cookham Dean School and East Berkshire Colleges to name just a few.
Today Martin Hucker is sole owner of the company and our services include commercial, industrial and domestic work. We have built relationships with many property maintenance companies over the years and are proud that this includes working for Marlin Services Ltd, with whom we have had a happy working relationship for more than twenty years.
2012 is our 50th year in the business. We are very proud of our heritage and history, and we hope that you will be able to rely on F & C Electric Ltd for many years to come.
