Mr.Electric opens its first franchise in Wales

The new Mr.Electric office, run by local couple Micheal Stewart and Tracy Yarnall, will cover Newport, Abergavenny, Cwmbran, Pontypool and surrounding areas, and begain trading on the 14th of October.

The entrepreneurial couple will be joined by one fully qualified electrician, providing all electrical solutions for homes and businesses in aspects of electrical repair, installation and energy saving, and including electric car charging points.

After 8 years of running a successful newsagent and post office, Micheal knew he had taken the business as far as he could and decided he needed to set himself a new challenge in the electrical industry. Tracy, who had devoted her time over the last 4 year to working with struggling families for Barnardo's was eager to join Micheal.

Not wanting to start a new business from scratch, Michael and Tracy began researching various franchise opportunities. They decided to make an investment in a future and recession proof sector with a well-known brand and was growing fast. Mr. Electric fitted the bill, particularly as it was part of Neighbourly, the world’s largest franchisor of home service brands, with a franchise network of over 3,700 franchisees worldwide.

“We initially looked at several other franchises but struggled to find a franchisor who made us feel confident that we would be fully supported to make our business as successful as possible. That is until we found Mr. Electric! Not only do we know that we have the support of a dedicated team behind us who are always there to champion our success, we are now also part of a network of franchisees who share our passion for the brand. Joining Mr. Electric given us the opportunity to be a part of a very exciting industry, particularly with the rise of electric vehicles and chargepoints, which we’re thrilled to bring to our local community.”
