CoGoGo is delighted to present a unique opportunity to acquire a long-established and highly trusted electrical services business with an exceptional reputation across Gloucestershire.
Founded in 1985, Dave Parker Electrical has been built on decades of quality workmanship, reliability and strong client relationships. Now offered for sale as the owner moves into a well-earned retirement, this is an ideal purchase for a qualified electrician ready to step into a thriving operation with deep roots in the local community.
A Business Built on Experience, Reliability & Demand
The owner’s career began in 1977 as an apprentice electrician, progressing through industry roles during a period when large contracting firms dominated the local area. As those companies downsized throughout the 1980s, Dave used his growing experience and initiative to establish his own business—supported by the Enterprise Allowance Scheme at the time.
From small domestic jobs to major rewires, the business steadily grew through word-of-mouth, loyalty, and a reputation that has endured for over four decades. Today, Dave Parker Electrical continues to receive regular enquiries simply through its long-held telephone number and established name—proving just how strong the legacy is.
Why This Business is Perfect for a New Owner
The local electrical landscape has changed significantly. Years ago, multiple large contracting firms employed apprentices and produced a steady pipeline of skilled electricians. Those firms have since closed, many electricians have retired, and fewer young tradespeople are entering the sector.
Demand for quality electricians in the area has never been higher, while supply has decreased.This creates a fantastic opportunity for any new owner to step into a market hungry for skilled professionals.
The seller explains it best: after decades in the trade, the essentials remain the same—a van, your skills, and a reliable phone number. The new owner will inherit the most valuable assets of all: the brand reputation and continuous flow of customer calls built over 40 years.
Key Highlights:
Established in 1985 with strong local recognition
Fully relocatable - operate from anywhere in the region
Consistent stream of enquiries thanks to long-standing telephone number
Ideal for a qualified electrician looking to go independent or expand
Strong market demand, as many local electricians have retired
Dave Parker Electrical is more than a business—it is a long-standing service relied upon by generations of customers. With strong ongoing demand and fewer electricians in the area, this is an exceptional opportunity to build your future on a foundation that has already stood the test of time.
If you’re ready to step into a reputable, well-loved business with huge growth potential, now is the perfect moment.
