Electrical engineer powering up for growth

Paisley-based electrical engineering group Power One is on course for a year-one turnover of £2.5 million thanks to a raft of contract wins.

The firm, which now has 23 employees, has secured a project for 14 heritage and tourist destinations, including Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Gallery and the city’s famous Willow Tearooms, to celebrate the 150 th anniversary of the birth of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It has also secured a number of LED street lighting projects across Scotland.

Despite his former company being forced into administration, managing director of the newly-formed Power One, Mark Ward, said the outlook was bright.

“We have gone back to our roots, focusing on smaller contracts and sticking to what we know best,” he said. “From a standing start, we have secured a number of high profile projects with a healthy pipeline of contracts in the offing, including the deliver y of cellular systems for stadia and shopping centres.”
