Company History
Two electronics engineers who had been locally employed in the calibration field established
Electroservices (Instruments) Ltd in 1972. The company had a small workshop in central Newport and from there serviced the calibration needs of local companies.
Originally the company concentrated on calibrating general-purpose instruments such as multimeters and oscilloscopes. With the growth of the company, Electroservices (Instruments) Ltd reinvested so that the in-house capabilities could be improved.
Expansion
The growth of the company meant that relocation to larger premises was required and in 1978 Fairfax Road became the new head office. In 1984 Electroservices (Instruments) Ltd established its own standards laboratory directly traceable to National Standards this was duly accredited by UKAS. BSI accreditation to ISO:9002 was gained in 1990, covering the repair and calibration of electronic & electrical test equipment.
Electroservices (Midlands) Ltd was established in Telford in the early 1980s, to provide a limited calibration service for the Midlands based customers of Electroservices (Instruments) Ltd.
During the 1980s, the Midlands operation slowly increased in size and capability. BSI accreditation to ISO9002 was gained in 1988 covering the repair and calibration of electronic & electrical test equipment.
The company relocated to purpose built premises in 1990. Stafford Park became the new head office for Electroservices (Midlands) Ltd.
In August 1997 a group co-operative of employees purchased the Midlands branch. Electroservices (Midlands) Ltd traded as a separate company, although the special relationship between the two companies was maintained.
In May 1999, the founders of Electroservices (Instruments) Ltd retired and the company was purchased by the owners of Electroservices (Midlands) Ltd, so unifying the two companies once more and increasing overall in-house capabilities. The companies are currently running in parallel.
The amalgamation of both companies ensured further re-investment and as a result Electroservices (Instruments) Ltd relocated to a purpose built air-conditioned building in Llantarnam Park, Cwmbran in October 2001.
