Our History

A story of growth

The company has grown steadily, expanding from its beginnings as a local electrical services provider into its present role as a fully-fledged building services management organisation.

Mike and Sue Sherwood founded the company in 1970 with an office in Torquay, South Devon. Mike's son, Kevin, who is now our Managing Director, joined the firm in 1991 following a career as an approved electrician working throughout the South of England.

By 1995 we were working successfully with a range of councils and schools in the South West region.

With close partnerships and a strong team leading towards steady growth, this saw a strong start to the millennium for Sherwoods.

Kevin's wife, Jo, joined the firm in 2003 and she is now our Financial Director.

In 2008 we welcomed the arrival of Phil Hesketh formally of Haden/Balfour Beatty to assist with further developing the already successful planned maintenance area of the business.

2011/12 presents new challenges & opportunities. By working with our clients in partnership, listening to our customers and providing solutions we are able to consistently deliver Quality & Value in-line with our service promise.

We look forward to sharing our vision with you.
